May 4 - June 8, 2024

Reception: Saturday May 4, 4 - 6 PM 

Performance: Saturday May 25, 6-6:30 PM

Round Weather is honored to present Manȃr Ḥarb’s paintings, book art, and movement performance in Of Land and Language.  Ḥarb is a researcher, poet, and artist whose work springs up from nature and bodily experience as well as her Palestinian heritage and mother tongue of Arabic.  She grew up in Ramallah, Palestine amid the life-draining viciousness of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and its apartheid state regime.  Yet her art is full of the life-giving synergy generated between land and language.  Her paintings place us in a surging and calming state of being that sees the sinews of our bodies as close-ups of plants, as abstract aerial visions of earth and water, as sound waveforms and letter shapes spiritually embodied.
