I recently finished reading The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi. It’s an illuminating, hair raising, to say the least, book that has greatly helped me understand the history of where Israel and Palestine are today.
A few days after finishing the book and with news of the continuing genocide of Palestinians on my mind, I returned to the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto. My husband and I went there to have another look at two exhibits we’d seen before. One of those was Seeing Through Babel by Kevork Mourad whose terrific work I had seen years before at the museum. In Seeing Through Babel, he has made a large tower of layered hand printed fabric to reimagine the story of the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament. On the layers are calligraphy and symbols of ancient stone artifacts from around the world. Instead of different languages being a punishment as in the biblical text, Kevork focuses on the richness that diversity brings to humanity. Here’s a few photos I took of the work:
