<i>Made in Palestine on view at SomArts, San Francisco, April 7 through
April 21, 2005. The exhibition showcases a collection of contemporary art
made by 23 Palestinian artists and refugees, who live in the occupied
territories and the Diaspora. The works on display cover a wide range of
media and present individual reflections on the Palestinian contemporary
experience and the political situation in Palestine. The Station Museum,
Houston, where the show originated, described Made In Palestine as “the
first exhibit of contemporary Palestinian art ever displayed in the
United States.” For more information, go to
