Calligraphy is being emphasized because human figures were not normally presented due to their cultures and believes. 




Elmarsa Gallery was established in 1994 with the mission to generate interest in Arab art, inspire dialogue between cultural, social and artistic leaders, and to develop international relationships. One of the gallery’s hallmarks is its role as an informal meeting place for an international crowd of intellectual, business, and social actors.

“Les bruissements de la pierre”
The exhibition presents some thirty large-scale drawings and mosaics mapping the inner land of the artist’s childhood in "antika", the ruins of the archaeological site Thuburbo Majus transformed into a playground to flee the daily dreary burden from the town of El Fahs. « Les bruissements de la pierre » extends the artist's interest in history related to our relationship to time and dichotomies between individual memory and collective memory, human reality and historical reality.

Mona Hatoum 

 Her studies at the Slade School of Art coincided with developing ideas around gender and race, and she began to explore the relationship between politics and the individual through performance.
In the late 1980s she began to make installations and sculptures in a wide range of materials. These often use the grid or geometric forms to reference to systems of control within society. She has made a number of works using household objects which are scaled up or changed to make them familiar but uncanny.
