Palestine
LARA SALOUS
2024
Lara Salous is a Palestinian artist, born in Ramallah, whose work explores the preservation and revitalization of ancestral traditions. Inspired by a Bedouin community that keeps the practice of wool weaving alive in Palestine, she began a research project focused on how knowledge from the past can be preserved within a colonized reality.
Her work aims to reintegrate the use of local wool into contemporary life, connecting the past with the present, while addressing themes of identity, cultural resistance, and the struggle to preserve ancient traditions threatened by war.

Lara Salous presents seven works — three installations and four videos — five of them previously unseen. All of the pieces are conceptual works addressing the vertical and horizontal violence exerted on Palestinian land and identity.
The exhibition’s title, We Became the Land, comes from a phrase often repeated by the Palestinian shepherds she has worked with.
