From the Rhythm to the Sea

Watercolor and Ink on Paper, 56×76 triptych

As a preamble to a larger card game about Muslim-Jewish conviviality and post-nation-state futures, Rüzgâr Buşki and Anna Lublina present three watercolor paintings. Using the form of a traditional ketubah (illustrated Jewish marriage contract), patterns inspired by the tiles of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a scripted dialogue; the works seek the textures of coexistence within ancestral worlds and examine how these forms have been dissected or altered to fit Western cultural grammars– or disappeared completely in the name of ethno-nationalism.
