Jack Persekian: Jerusalem – Take II at Zawyeh Gallery, Dubai — 14 Nov 2026–10 Jan 2027

Zawyeh Gallery in Alserkal Avenue presents “Jerusalem – Take II”, a solo exhibition by Jack Persekian, the Jerusalem-born artist and curator who led the Sharjah Biennial (2004–2011) and the Palestinian Museum (2012–2015). Through what the gallery calls “visual archaeology,” the exhibition pairs past and present images to bring forward histories hidden in Jerusalem’s landscape, challenging nostalgic, mythical and colonial representations of the city and arguing that preservation is never neutral — while dwelling on the everyday beauty of limestone, rooftops and shifting light.
