Palestine: Grief & Connection Through Clay
فلسطين: الحزن والتواصل من خلال الطين
On view March 25 – May 31, 2026
Arab American National Museum
Palestine: Grief & Connection Through Clay brings together a collective of Palestinian ceramic artists working at the intersection of material, memory, and identity. Presented by Palipotters, the exhibition explores how clay, drawn from the earth itself, can hold stories of land, displacement, resilience, and return.
Through vessels, sculptural forms, and tactile surfaces, the artists engage with themes of grief and connection, reflecting both personal and collective experiences. Their works speak to the enduring ties between people and homeland, while also navigating the realities of fragmentation and loss.
Featuring works by Leena Ismail, Car Nazzal, Eman Srouji, Leila Srouji, Amal Tamari, Pam Totah, Marina Wahbeh, and Karina Yanes.
