Minor Detail begins during the summer of 1949, one year after
the war that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakba – the
catastrophe that led to the displacement and expulsion of more than
700,000 people – and the Israelis celebrate as the War of
Independence. Israeli soldiers capture and rape a young Palestinian
woman, and kill and bury her in the sand. Many years later, a woman
in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of obsession with this
‘minor detail’ of history. A haunting meditation on war,
violence and memory, Minor Detail cuts to the heart of
the Palestinian experience of dispossession, life under occupation,
and the persistent difficulty of piecing together a narrative in
the face of ongoing erasure and disempowerment.

Minor Detail begins during the summer of 1949, one year after the
war that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakba-the catastrophe that
led to the displacement and exile of some 700,000 people-and the
Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence. Israeli soldiers
murder an encampment of Bedouin in the Negev desert, and among
their victims they capture a Palestinian teenager and they rape
her, kill her, and bury her in the sand. Many years later, in the
near-present day, a young woman in Ramallah tries to uncover some
of the details surrounding this particular rape and murder, and
becomes fascinated to the point of obsession, not only because of
the nature of the crime, but because it was committed exactly
twenty-five years to the day before she was born. Adania Shibli
masterfully overlays these two translucent narratives of exactly
the same length to evoke a present forever haunted by the past.

A fresh and engaging look at the groundbreaking work of
contemporary artist Mona Hatoum The work of London-based artist
Mona Hatoum (b. 1952) addresses the growing unease of an
ever-expanding world that is as technologically networked as it is
fractured by war and exile. Best known for sculptures that
transform domestic objects such as kitchen utensils or cribs into
things strange and threatening, Hatoum conducts multilayered
investigations of the body, politics, and gender that express a
powerful and pervasive sense of precariousness. Her works are never
simple and often elicit conflicting emotions, such as fascination
and fear, desire and revulsion. This copiously illustrated
presentation of Hatoum's oeuvre offers critical and art historical
essays by Michelle White and Anna C. Chave and imaginative texts by
Rebecca Solnit and Adania Shibli, which contextualize the artist's
work and its relationship to Surrealism, Minimalism, feminism, and
politics. With extensive discussions on a selection of significant
sculptures and installations, some of which are previously
unpublished, Mona Hatoum: Terra Infirma provides an insightful look
at one of the most exciting and influential artists working today.
