“We Will Be What We Want to Be”
“From sculpture to poetry, Palestinian artists affirm their right to exist through acts of creation in Station North Exhibition.”
BY REBEKAH KIRKMAN, JUNE 26, 2024
“The title We Will Be What We Want to Be is taken from the title of one of Zahi Khamis’s paintings, which in turn is taken from the great Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish who invites his people—and all of us—to use our vision, imagination, and creativity to reorder the world. When we engage in the visionary act of defining ourselves for ourselves, we transform tragedy into limitless possibility,” says artist Kim Jensen.
The exhibition “We Will Be What We Want to Be:” From Baltimore To Palestine” was open to the public on May 31-June 30, 2024 at AREA 405. It featured the paintings, sculptural works, new media, and poetry installations of Zahi Khamis, Kim Jensen, Ahlam Khamis, and Besan Khamis. This exhibition was curated by Baltimore-based curator, Quentin Gibeau.
