Made in Palestine was the first museum exhibition in the United States devoted to the contemporary art of Palestine. Shown at Station Museum of Contemporary Art in Houston, Texas, from May to October, 2003, it was a survey of work by artists living in the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of Israel, as well as a smaller number of Palestinian artists living in Syria, Jordan, Germany, and the United States. The exhibition follows the modern history of the Palestinian people from the Naqba of 1948 to their dream for a homeland. There are evocations of the forced dispossession of the Palestinian people and testaments to the day-to-day brutality of the current Israeli occupation. It winds up with a dream for the future of Palestine. Throughout, Diaspora and occupation complicate the telling. Palestinian artists, under the most egregious circumstances, create works of art that are a contribution to world art. Specifically, they create symbols and visual configurations that define their national liberation struggle for a free Palestine. Being an artist for Palestine is an act of courage.
