Bashir Makhoul
The Promise
13 APR - 30 JUN 2025
Zawyeh Gallery is proud to present the first Dubai exhibition dedicated to internationally renowned Palestinian artist Bashir Makhoul. In this exhibition, Makhoul unveils his latest works, consolidating the themes and material explorations that define his practice.
The title The Promise encapsulates a poetic and ambiguous statement of intent, an assertion that is both an event and a transformation. A promise is made and, inevitably, can be broken. This duality speaks to the essence of Makhoul’s work: the interplay between creation and fragmentation, completion and rupture. His artistic practice engages deeply with the concept of home, a word that, for many, signifies comfort, safety, and identity, yet for displaced communities like the Palestinians, evokes loss, fragmentation, dispossession, and longing.
