Brown University establishes Mahmoud Darwish Chair in Palestinian Studies

Jamelie Hassan's 2009 survey exhibition title At the Far Edge of Words was inspired by a Mahmoud Darwish poem.
Thrilled to see that Brown University has established a faculty chair in Palestinian Studies named after Palestinian poet laureate Mahmoud Darwish,  an icon of Palestinian and Arab literature. The chair is the first of its kind at a major research university.  Professor Beshara Doumani has been appointed the first holder of the Mahmoud Darwish Chair in Palestinian Studies effective July 1, 2020. See the statement here.

The title of my 2009 survey exhibition, At the Far Edge of Words, was in tribute to Darwish, evoking a line from his poem, “I am from there.” The poem begins “I come from there and I remember” but concludes “I learned and dismantled all the words to construct a single one: Home.”
The survey exhibition included works over four decades of art-making. 

The exhibition's publication was co-published by Museum London and the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, University of British Columbia. The neon work Noon is in the collection of the Belkin Art Gallery.
