| Summary: | Contrary to the reductive images often broadcasted on Gaza, this confined space witness a great artistic vitality. Since the 2000’s, collectives of artists have been created and numerous exhibitions take place all over the years; also, some Gazan artists have reached a growing acknowledgment within the international art worlds. Helped by the massive use of new technologies, artists publicize more and more their artworks, in a context where the siege limits access to the materials, the circulation of artworks and of the artists themselves. Nevertheless, does this micro-territory escape to the cultural globalization? Or at the contrary, the entrance into international contemporary art is a tool for artists of the new generation to overcome the local confinement? This article explores the issues – sometimes contradictory - of contemporary art’s worlds in Gaza, between a growing closure from one part, and new forms of mobility allowed by the cultural globalization from the other part. |
