Description:

 

Departing from the exhibition presented at documenta fifteen by the Palestinian collectives The Question of Funding and Eltiqaa, Hanan Toukan dissects the institutional contradictions that beset their reception in

Germany, and reads the latter as ‘a site of epistemic violence against cultural workers from Palestine and their allies’ carried out in the name of the country’s post- Holocaust cultural politics.
