Ebb and Flow

15.10.15 -13.11.15

Artist: Hannan Abu Hussein
Curator: Barbour

Hannan Abu Hussein’s installation tackles the murder and oppression of women. In Israel, almost every month a woman is murdered by her relatives, in the claim that she has brought dishonor on the family. The state remains silent on the issue of honor killings, refusing to intervene in the families “private affairs”. And so, independent women are murdered in the name of tradition while the murderers roam free.
