The bright, vibrant and fantastical renderings are almost reminiscent of postcards, idealised vignettes sent to loved ones overseas. Nassar has co-produced several works with female weavers working in Ramallah, West Bank, and in a recent installation reconstructed an apartment within which every object was made in close collaboration between the artist and local craftspeople throughout the world. ...
