Driving in Palestine

Rehab Nazzal
Curated by: Stefan St-Laurent

March 21st – May 24th, 2025

For most Palestinians, movement is severely limited. Traveling in their own homeland often meets with obstacles. Those who do travel experience the harsh realities of Settler Colonialism. 

From 2010 to 2020, artist Rehab Nazzal took on the risky task of crossing Palestine. Nazzal used a documentary approach to capture unseen aspects of Palestine. This included its visual and sound landscapes under military occupation. 

During her work, Nazzal faced life-threatening situations. Her aim was to document Palestine’s landscape and the effects of settler-colonialism. She amassed thousands of photos, videos, and audio clips, creating a vital historical archive. 

Nazzal’s journey through Palestine highlights the destruction of communities and resources. Driving becomes an act of defiance and mourning. It reflects the ongoing loss by Palestinians. 

This is a touring exhibition from the SAW Centre Ottawa.
