<P CLASS="yui3-block-quote-content sqs-block-content">“J’imagine tout cela avant de m’endormir : ma grand-mère ayant vécu à Tarshiha en Palestine, vit à Montréal dans la même ville que moi. Un rituel nocturne de rêve, de fantaisie et de prière : parler aux fantômes devient un acte de mémoire ou de retour, un acte de résurgence de par la façon dont nous racontons nos histoires et les ré-imaginons, cette histoire disparue dans la migration, m’appartient désormais dans mes rêves. Je ne connais rien de cette grand-mère qui vivait en Palestine. Je ne l’ai rencontrée qu’une seule fois. L’imaginer comme j’ai besoin qu’elle soit dans l’histoire m’ancre, m’enracine dans un profond état d’appartenance. C’est un acte intime de prière, une intervention fantomatique dans le temps, devant mon mon incapacité à écrire pour contrer la douleur. ”— Nasrin Himada</P>

<P>Nasrin Himada est une auteure et commissaire d’origine Palestinienne établie à Tio’tia:ke (Montréal), sur le territoire Kanien'kehá:ka.

Son travail à titre de commissaire a récemment été présenté à la Galerie Leonard-et-Bina-Ellen et à DHC/ART Fondation pour l'art contemporain.

<P>La pratique multidisciplinaire — son, image, texte, installation, performance - de Basel Abbas et Ruanne Abou-Rahme examine le paysage contemporain, qui semble être marqué par une crise perpétuelle et un «présent» sans fin, un paysage de plus en plus façonné par une politique du désir et du désastre. Leur travail remet en question cette suspension du présent et cherche comment peut en émerger un imaginaire complètement différent. Le duo vit et travaille entre New York et Ramallah et présente régulièrement des expositions individuelles et collectives sur la scène internationale.</P>

<P CLASS="yui3-block-quote-content sqs-block-content">“I imagine all this before I go to sleep: my grandmother, who lived in Tarshiha, Palestine, is living in Montréal, in the same city as me. A nightly ritual of dream, fantasy and prayer: talking to ghosts becomes an act of remembering or of returning, an act of resurgence, in how we get to tell our stories, how we get to re-imagine our histories, one that disappeared in migration, now belongs to me and my dreams. I don’t know anything about this grandmother who lived in Palestine. I only ever met her once. Imagining her as I need her to be in the story anchors me, grounds me in a deep state of ‘be/longing.’ It’s an intimate act of prayer, a ghostly intervention in time, reckoning with my inability to write against grief. ”— Nasrin Himada</P>

<P>Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s multidisciplinary practice — sound, image, text, installation and performance — probes a contemporary landscape marked by seemingly perpetual crisis and an endless ‘present’, one that is increasingly shaped by a politics of desire and disaster. Their work questions this suspension of the present and searches for ways in which an altogether different imaginary can emerge. The duo lives and works between New York and Ramallah and regularly participates in solo and group exhibitions around the world.</P>
