Exchanges with Framer Framed

This fall, our Exchanges programme welcomes Prince Claus Awardees Tareq Khalaf and Sandra Khzam for artist residencies at Framer Framed Noord.

Featured PCF participants

The first artist-in-residence hosted by Framer Framed is Tareq Khalaf, a design educator, filmmaker and cultural activist based in Ramallah, Palestine. His work explores the affinities, sensitivities and senses of belonging rooted in Indigenous practices. Currently, he is investigating how seasonal ways of living and community farming can affirm belonging and create spaces of resistance. During his residency, Tareq will develop a sculptural work connecting collective grieving, sustenance and the annual ritual of the olive harvest.

In parallel, he is completing post-production on his documentary "Azziza: In a Cherished Land", which follows his great aunt Azziza over five years, exploring seasonal life, rapid urbanisation, the deteriorating political situation in the West Bank and familial fragmentation. The film tells a story of exile from the perspective of those who remain, while exploring the powerful bond between people, land and place.

Exchanges is made possible through the generous support from the City of Amsterdam.
