Maktaba joined Palestinian artist Basel Zaraa to provide a selection of works related to his installation Dear Laila back in early February. The books were available for consultation in the gallery space.
Through one family’s story, Dear Laila shares the Palestinian reality of displacement and resistance, revealing how war and exile are experienced through everyday domestic, and public life.
An intimate, interactive installation, it reminds us that when a place we love is destroyed, telling stories breathes it back to life.
