Nardeen Srouji
Nardeen Srouji’s work delves into the gaps between stability and instability, placement and displacement, familiarity and estrangement. Transitioning between sculpture and installation, she appropriates familiar objects, images, and sounds from her surroundings, transforming them into interventions that challenge viewers to reconfigure their understanding and relationship with the world. Recently, her focus has shifted to site-specific art, exploring how processes take form within the multilayered dynamics of the body in relation to place, space, and time.
Nardeen Srouji has exhibited work at A M Qattan Foundation; Haifa Museum of Art; and Tel Aviv Museum of Art, all in Israel and in Palestine, among others.

Tamen Pérez

Pérez holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale School of Art and a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Tamen Pérez has exhibited work at Lyles and King Gallery, New York; Y2K Gallery, New York; and Stadium Galerie, Berlin; among others.
