Connecting people through art 

We are glad to announce the presentation of A Night We Held Between by artist Noor Abed (1988, Palestine) at WIELS, Brussels as part of the exhibition’s program of the Han Nefkens Foundation – Fundació Antoni Tàpies Video Art Production Grant 2022, in collaboration with NTU Centre for Contemporary Art, Singapore; WIELS, Brussels; Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), Manila and Jameel Art Centre, Dubai.

On October 10th, on occasion of the vernissage of Noor Abed’s A Night We Held Between, the artist and curator Shayma Nader will unpack mythological, narrative and political strands of the film in a conversation that will start with the screening of the film at 7pm, at the WIELS Auditorium.

From October 11th  to November 10th, A Night We Held Between, will be screened at WIELS Auditorium, from 11am to 6pm, every half hour.

A Night We Held Between was shot in ancient sites in Palestine—caves, carved holes, underground passages, and wild valleys—the land becomes our main character. It traverses beyond the first layer of visibility to reveal a vast, hidden world similar to the one we know. Throughout the film, scenes intertwine rituals and narratives of community and resistance into everyday representations of social life in Palestine, thus emphasizing the role of collective rhythmic movement and the potential impact that shared feelings can evoke in creating and sustaining a community.
