Basel Abbas i Ruanne Abou-Rahme

MACBA presents the first exhibition in the Spanish State of the duo of artists of Palestinian descent Basel Abbas (1983, Nicosia, Cyprus) and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (1983, Boston, USA). Through the poetics of sound, image, text and performance, their practice delves into collective memory to explore histories of oppression, dispossession and violence, together with those of collectivity and resilience. The core of the exhibition is a new immersive, multichannel audiovisual installation, created specifically for the space, which investigates various forms of spectral presences and of storytelling through song. You can find more information about the exhibition "Basel Abbas i Ruanne Abou-Rahme" on the website of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA).
