About the artist

Salwa Arnous

Born in Jaffa, Palestine, Salwa Arnous makes art about home: the land, Jerusalem, the families who carry both with them, and what it means to lose them. Her paintings, prints, calligraphy and assemblages have been shown in San Antonio and she co-created the play Otherwise Occupied.
