Student Sari Tarazi achieves 2nd place in Sliman Mansour and Nabil Anani Award

Sari Tarazi, student in the Contemporary Visual Art bachelor’s program, achieved second place in the Spring Award 2023, also known as the Sliman Mansour and Nabil Anani Award, for his artwork “Armed with Noise.” Student Rama Ashkar received an honorable mention from the jury panel for her artwork “I Swallow Myself”.

Organized by the Palestinian Art Collective in collaboration with the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center, the award aims to support young artists and encourage them to create art, given the lack of a supportive environment that incubates their artistic endeavors and exhibits their artwork.

The award name “Spring” was selected echoing the annual Spring Exhibition organized in the 1980’s by the Palestinian Artists Association. It also reflects the artistic beginnings of young artists and urges them to move forward with their artwork.
