Post Resettlement

After his recent travels, Ai Weiwei invites Palestinian artist Eid Hthaleen to exhibit in Berlin, raising awareness on the crisis of humanitarian rights.

Ai Weiwei acts as a curator inviting Palestinian artist Eid Hthaleen to call the attention on the current refugee crisis within the exhibition “Post Resettlement”, in the Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin – where the Chinese artist’s work was shown in 2001 for the first time. The exhibition is made in collaboration with Neugerriemschneider.

The two met during Ai Weiwei’s recent travels through Israel and Palestine, and show in the exhibition a direct reflection of their experiences. As a self-taught artist from the Bedouin village of Umm Al Khair in the Southern Hebron Hills, Eid builds miniature-sized, toy-like models of jeeps, bulldozers and helicopters from plastic, iron, and other found material. Living under the constant threat of demolition and expulsion, the artist renders exactly these vehicles carrying out the destruction back into constructive elements that can be appreciated again for their positive use.

For quite some time now, Ai Weiwei is reporting from the refugee camps of Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Palestine and Italy, driving the attention and defending the refugees’ dignity.
