REEM MASRI: TIME OF MONSTERS

Opening: November 25, 2026, 7:30 pm.

Time of Monsters traces a distinct, intense line through Reem Masri´s practice, from 2018 to the present. Masri’s practice has long explored the relationship between land and memory. In her exhibition, Time of Monsters, body and land emerge as terrains that can be occupied, tumored, carved, and contested: their spaces are altered, fragmented, disfigured. Masri collapses the distance between the idea of an occupied body and occupied land, approaching both as sites in which vulnerability, violence, memory and persistence are inscribed.

Reem Masri is a Palestinian visual artist, born in Jerusalem in 1991, whose practice spans painting, drawing, collage, and installation. She is a part-time instructor at Birzeit University’s Faculty of Art, Music and Design, in Ramallah.

On November 23, Reem Masri will give a lecture on her artistic practice and teaching she conducts in Palestine. Yasmin Riyahi, postdoctoral fellow at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence, will engage in a dialogue with her, drawing on her own research into the reception of contemporary Palestinian art in Italy. The conversation will be followed by a discussion moderated by Davide Ferrando, architecture critic, curator, and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Design and Art at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The event is co-organised between Ar/Ge Kunst and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano with the assembly South Tyrol Knowledge Workers for Palestine and Peace.
