360 Virtual Reality Tour of Hazem Harb’s solo exhibition Contemporary Heritage at Tabari Artspace.
This new body of work sees Hazem Harb observe the notion of heritage as unfixed and fluid. Underscoring Palestinian academic, Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism whereby through the imposition of soft powers history is reshaped for various agendas, Harb observes that while transferred from generation-to- generation, heritage also collides with colonial discourses resulting in new meanings that subsume the stories of the original owners who are often forcibly absent.
