Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

MoMA PS1 will present the first major museum exhibition of #jumanamanna (Palestinian, b. 1987) in the United States. On view from September 22, 2022 to April 17, 2023, the exhibition brings together nearly 20 works including two recent films, Wild Relatives (2018) and Foragers (2022), along with a series of new and existing sculptures, charting the artist’s multidisciplinary practice that explores the paradoxical effects of preservation practices in agriculture, science, and the law. Across the works in the exhibition, from sculptures to films, the land and its rhythms are explored as the basis for ways of life that have undergone duress while also resisting, evading, and transforming hegemonic power structures. 

Focusing on the land in the face of increasing forms of alienation from it, Manna’s films use a range of narrative methods to examine how land-based practices like farming and foraging are embroiled in and struggle against neoliberal and colonial policies and in turn, climate change. Drawing from specific examples, such as the first withdrawal from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in 2015 in response to the Syrian war—the subject of her film Wild Relatives—Manna underscores the scientific limitations in recovering the loss of biological life, in all of its forms. Additionally, her work visualizes the slow violence of industrial agriculture while asking poignant questions about what kind of future is possible in a precarious present.

Jumana Manna is organized by Ruba Katrib, #MoMA PS1 Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs.

Significant support for Jumana Manna is provided by The International Council of The Museum of Modern Art.

Generous support is provided by The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art and Lise Stolt-Nielsen.
