Edward Said "Exile" Poster
Out of stock
High-resolution print of an original Watan art piece.
This piece depicts Edward Said resting his chin upon the word "Exile" with a quote from his Reflections on Exile and Other Essays above him.
This print is hopefully the first in a series of prints exploring the Palestinian relationship with exile. Watan first began, for example, out of a need to address exile and "overcome the crippling sorrow of estrangement". How do we try to overcome exile in our various contexts? How do we deal with our new temporary homes? I think understanding what we were robbed us first -- community, perhaps -- is essential to understanding exile. But, of course, this may change as this project in thinking progresses.

“Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. -Edward Said”
”للمنفى شجن دفين لا يمكن التغلب عليه البتة ، فهو ينبع من الواقع الأساسي للمنفي، من بين الذات وموطنها.“
