Founded in 1975, the IMA is the longest-running contemporary art space of its kind in Australia. As one of the country’s first non-collecting public galleries, the IMA has played an integral role in developing contemporary art in Queensland, Australia, and internationally.
This discussion was recorded following a screening of the 2012 film, Picasso in Palestine by Khaled Hourani. It features Miriam Deprez (photojournalist and PhD candidate, Griffith University), Dr Jamal Nabulsi (diaspora Palestinian writer and researcher), and Remah Naji (Member, Justice for Palestine, Magan-djin), faciliated by Dr Samid Suliman (Senior Lecturer, Migration and Security at Griffith University).
This discussion will contextualise the film against the decades-long history of the occupation of Palestine, reflect on the im/mobilities that it documents, and instigate an important discussion of the role and duty of the arts to act (transnationally and transversally) against dispossession, occupation, state violence, and genocide.
