CAMPLE LINE is delighted to bring The Unbearable Halfness of Being to Dumfriesshire this autumn. This is Jumana’s first solo exhibition in Scotland, and the first presentation of this body of work since Documenta 15.

At CAMPLE LINE, Jumana will present 18 drawings in our upstairs and foyer spaces, alongside a selection of beeswax charm objects, carved Sacred water guardians from 2016, embroidered textiles based on drawings by Jumana and made collaboratively in 2021 with ‘Ein Qiniya resident Suha atta Alqam, a small crochet featuring a horse made by Jumana’s mother Clemence, and two neon light works, shaped to form the Arabic letter Ein, meaning eye or water source. Jumana’s films, I feel everything (2022, 9’), The Water Keepers (2022, 30’), and Hide your water from the sun (2014-2017, 8’45”), made in collaboration with photographer Issa Freij, will screen over the period of the exhibition.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a new short essay written by Eline van der Vlist, formerly artistic director, Darat al Funun ­– The Khalid Shoman Foundation.
