The Jerusalem Show, Outside the Gates of Heaven

The Jerusalem Show (‘Ala Abwab Al Janna) borrows its English title from the vivacious and atypical formats of the Saturday Night Live show and the Muppet Show, whereas its Arabic title ‘Ala Abwab Al Janna (Outside the Gates of Heaven) references the sacramental veneration that is bestowed on Jerusalem. A similar ludicrous dichotomy is ostensible to Jerusalem’s inhabitants (including us at Al-Ma’mal Foundation). Read more

Faten Nastas

Memories of Gold

In "Memories of Gold"(2007), Faten Nastas makes the association with memories of her childhood and youth in Jerusalem, literally referring to her memories as memories of gold, alluding to the precious time and to the sadness she feels in not having a chance to visit her place of youthful memories due to her being denied permit to travel to Jerusalem from her place of current residence (Bethlehem). For this reason, she produces a work made from transparent gold coloured fabric with gold chocolate attached, and takes the golden "scarf" to places within the old city that hold a fond memory for the artist, wrapping these places as a way to mark and preserve them; as a means to re-affirm her memories of the city. "Memories of Gold" was installed outdoors at Suq Aftimos (Al Dabagha), fountain near to the Church of Holy Sepulcher, and at the 3rd Station of the Cross, Al Wad Street, Old City.
