The Al Araqib Tapestry 2021
Communal embroidery created together with the inhabitants of the unrecognized Bedouin village of Al Araqib, which at the time of the project had been demolished by the Israeli authorities 192 times (at the time of writing that’s about 220 times).
synthetic cloth, cotton and synthetic thread.
0,55 x 27m.
The embroidery is directly inspired by the famous icon of world art history, the Bayeux tapestry, created anonymously in 1077 AD.
Like Bayeux, Al Araqib’s is the story of a conquest. But told from the side of those who non-violently refuse to be conquered.
