Renowned for her savvy, sometimes ambiguous use of heterogeneous representational strategies to engage with complex cultural issues, Peggy Ahwesh has sustained one of the most profound voices in experimental media. Her latest works emerge from her time living in Palestinian communities in the West Bank: The visual essays Alluvium (2015) and Kissing Point (2014) portray parallel worlds existing within a single geography, while Lessons of War (2015) and The Blackest Sea (2016) repurpose animated news reports into darkly poetic visions of calamity.
