Palestinian art

Palestinian art is a term used to refer to artwork either originating from historic Palestine , as well as paintings, posters, installation art , costumes , and handcrafts produced by Palestinian artists in modern and contemproary times.

Similar to the structure of Palestinian society, the Palestinian art field extends over four main geographic centers: the West Bank and Gaza Strip; Israel; the Palestinian diaspora in the Arab world, Europe and the United States.^[1]

Contemporary Palestinian art finds its roots in folk art and traditional Christian and Islamic painting popular in Palestine over the ages . After the Nakba of 1948, nationalistic themes have predominated as Palestinian artists use diverse media to express and explore their connection to identity and land.^[2]
