Mohammad Shaqdih, the deputy director of Jordan's Darat al-Funun gallery, speaks to the press about a collective exhibition by four displaced Palestinian artists from Gaza, entitled"Under Fire", currently held in Amman on November 5, 2024. — AFP picGAZA, Nov 11 — When war erupted in Gaza, Palestinian artists had only one way to share their work expressing the harrowing reality of the conflict: having it smuggled out of the besieged territory.
He is deputy director of Darat al-Funun, an art gallery in the Jordanian capital Amman exhibiting pieces that were smuggled out in a show entitled “Under Fire”. The artworks “depict the daily realities of war and the hardship these artists endure, who have been displaced and lost their homes”, said Shaqdih.
The exhibition features 79 artworks crafted from improvised materials including medicine wrappers, and using natural pigments made from hibiscus, pomegranate and tea. In a letter displayed alongside his work, Majed Shala describes how he was displaced to the southern city of Deir al-Balah. His house, studio and 30 years of artworks were completely destroyed.
