Rheim Alkadhi’s engagement in an expansive visual practice revolves around narrative pictures, objects and social interactions. Her work Hairs From the Hairbrushes of Palestinians (2013) is made of material from the project Collective Knotting Together of Hairs (2012), which took place in the village of Jam’ain with the willing participation of its residents. Through house-to-house visits and word of mouth, residents were invited to collect hairs shed in their hairbrushes and convene over the course of several months to knot them into a single strand that would span some forty kilometres – the distance between Jam’ain and Jerusalem.
This project was part of Sharjah Biennial 12
