Hazem Harb's new exhibition peels back memories from Gaza

Rebecca Anne Proctor, Al-Monitor, 28 March 2025

Al Monitor published Rebecca Anne Proctor's interview with Hazem Harb on 28 March 2025, as the first item in a Dubai newsletter, on his forthcoming solo Not There, Yet Felt at Tabari in DIFC.

The piece is a real conversation with the Palestinian artist about memory, absence and Gaza, not a one line listing. It names the gallery repeatedly, gives the exhibition dates as 12 April to 27 May 2025, and credits works to the artist and the gallery. Harb discusses the Peeling series and the feeling of a place that is not there and is still felt. Other newsletter items below it cover restaurants and events; the Harb interview stands apart from those.

The same show is already on the News page through an OpenSpace card; this is a separate interview in a different outlet.

Proctor writes about memory as something that can be peeled back in layers, and about works that hold Gaza without treating it as a distant subject. The interview was published in late March, ahead of the April opening in DIFC.

Tabari represents Hazem Harb.
