Khalil Rabah reflects on themes of displacement, memory, and identity, examining the relationship between humans and their surroundings, as well as the nature of global human condition. He is the co-founder of the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in Jerusalem in 1998, and of the Riwaq Biennial in 2005. In 2003, Rabah established the ongoing project The Palestine Museum of Natural History and Humankind to "promote wonder, discovery, and knowledge".
