Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme: Only sounds that tremble through us

The Perlman Teaching Museum’s winter 2025 exhibition Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme: Only sounds that tremble through us features three bodies of work drawn from the artists’ decade-long project May amnesia never kiss us on the mouth (2010–ongoing). The project explores diverse traditions of communal song and dance as a form of resistance across Palestine, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
Working across a range of media — including moving-image installations, sound, performance, and poetry — the artwork centers on themes of collectivity, resilience, and memory. The exhibition is designed in close conversation with the artists, Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme.
This exhibition is made possible by Teiger Foundation.
