RAMALLAH — Palestinian artist Jack Persekian, born and raised in East Jerusalem, grew up keenly aware of the long and tumultuous history of the divided city. As an adult photographer, he found a way to portray the transition through his art by combining old and new photos.
Persekian’s “One Hundred Years,” which consists of 12 photographic works, is currently exhibited at the French-German Cultural Center in Ramallah as part of the biennial Qalandiya International Festival. The exhibition will run until Nov. 11.
