Sharif Waked is a Palestinian artist who’s work enages with with Islamic culture and history, and its interaction with the Israeli occupation and hegemonic Jewish culture in Palestine. Waked is also interested in derivatives of classical Islamic culture, such as calligraphy, and the way form and content, or images and text interact in this practice. Without really holding a cynical approach, in his dive to the depths of the cultural implications of Israeli occupation, he illuminates anecdotic events that illuminate its cruelty.
