Join the conversation with Palestinian artist Shareef Sarhan, where he speaks about the themes of his artwork Microscopy, Restoring Sight.

The Palestinian coastline extends to 240 km from Ras Al-Naqoura in the north to Rafah in the south. It has witnessed deep geological transformations that were accompanied by changes in the relationship between the people of Palestine and the coast. This work investigates the relationship between Palestinians and their coast, by means of tracing the geological elements of the Palestinian coast.
