​Jamelie Hassan will be part of a Toronto Palestinian Film Festival (TPFF) discussion panel on Cultural Suppression and Revival on Saturday September 26, 2020. The panel will explore the silencing of Palestinians voices in the cultural sector, as well as showcasing artists reviving Palestinian culture in their work.

 “I am honoured to add my voice to such a distinguished panel and be together with those who stand in solidarity with Palestine and culture here in Canada and across communities internationally. TPFF is inspiring and full of surprises... it's introduction of kid-friendly programs -  its intergenerational dynamic that appeals to all audiences  - grandparents, moms and dads and everyone else, drawn together from Toronto's BIPOC, cultural workers, activists, secular and civil society communities, keen to discover what's new and urgent in Palestinian culture."

-- Jamelie Hassan, London, Ontario

Glass mosaic tile on plywood Dimensions 15.5 x 15.5 inch (39.5 x 39.5 cm) Edition 1/1
 Jamelie Hassan donated a glass mosaic work to the online charity art auction To:Beirut. The piece is now up for auction. Please share with your networks. You can also share directly from the To:Beirut Instagram account.

​Jamelie Hassan has worked in diverse medias over the decades of her creative work. Recently, she has been working in glass tile mosaic which is labour-intensive and connected to the long-tradition of the art of mosaic created throughout the Mediterranean region. Many of her works in this glass mosaic series are language-based and some others represent graphs, mathematical diagrams and puzzles. This work is inspired by the sudoku puzzle that was published repeatedly in The Globe & Mail newspaper during the early months of the COVID-19 global pandemic and lockdown. A 5-star sudoku player herself, this artwork resonates both in terms of her daily sudoku practice but also her connections to the region and the extensive research she has done related to this ancient art practice.
