Memes of Conflict No. 9 by Saher Nassar
Witness Memes of Conflict No. 5 by Saher Nassar. Saher Nassar (b. Gaza, 1986) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work examines systems of control, conflict, and resistance within the Palestinian context. In Memes of Conflict, he explores the everyday realities of blockade and its far-reaching effects on society. The work draws attention to the ways violence and aggression eclipse the needs and well-being of children, and how the barriers imposed—physical, cultural, and informational—stifle both community and individual growth. Set against a backdrop of war and instability, Nassar highlights how direct speech is often suppressed, making satire and humor crucial forms of expression. Through the language of internet memes, the work harnesses a disarming format to challenge authority, turning digital irony into a subtle but sharp form of resistance.
