In A Group Picture

Iyad Qanazea Gallery

At Iyad Qanazea GalleryPalestinian artist Inass Yassin presents In a Group Picture (opening 11 June), a body of paintings and mixed-media works inspired by rural Palestinian wedding photography from the 1980s.

Drawing on years of research in Asira al-Shamaliya, Yassin revisits the colourful domestic settings that once framed family celebrations, from embroidered textiles and floral decorations to gardens and improvised studio backdrops.

Rather than treating these scenes as nostalgic documents, she examines them as acts of image-making that shaped collective memory and local identity. Based in Birzeit, Yassin’s interdisciplinary practice combines painting, archives, fieldwork and public interventions to investigate social transformation, representation, and the visual histories embedded within everyday life
