Wednesday Walkthrough: Victor Kattan
Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our current exhibition. This season, we are presenting a major new commission by the Palestinian artist duo Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme who work together across sound, image, text, installation and performance. This exhibition features the artists’ largest multi-media installation to date, celebrating their significant contribution to the field of research driven audio-visual art, exploring songs, poems and daily acts of resistance.
Victor Kattan is Assistant Professor in Public International Law at the University of Nottingham School of Law and the author of The Palestine Question in International Law (British Institute of International and Comparative Law, 2008) and From Coexistence to Conquest: International Law and the Origins of the Arab-Israeli Conflict 1891-1949 (Pluto Press, 2009) to learn more about his research in the context of the exhibition.
