Abdul Hay Mosallam Zarara

2009

Painting, 69 x 45 cm.

Collection: Courtesy Rana Sadik.

Using an innovative technique of sawdust and glue to create painted reliefs, Zarara developed a unique visual language centred on themes of resistance and identity. His work merged personal memory with national history, often featuring freedom fighters, revolutionary slogans and symbolic landscapes. His practice extended beyond Palestine, portraying global liberation movements in Ireland, Latin America and South Africa.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
