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

Vera Tamari

Helaneh's Curtain

“Helaneh’s Curtain” (2007): For the artist Vera Tamari, Jerusalem bears two significant meanings: that of 'austerity' and of 'magic'. Tamari's grandmother is utilized as the creative motivation behind the work as well as for the artists' perception and reflection of the city. Her installation of flashing light boxes composed from the same patterns of her grandmother's curtain, exhibited parallel to the actual curtain (handmade by her grandmother) represents the artist's tribute, not only to her grandmother, but also to the city as a place where "fantasy becomes a necessary tool to survive the burdens of time and memory". "Helaneh's Curtain" was produced for and installed in Gallery Anadiel, New Gate, Old City.
