Overview

But She Still Wears Kohl and Smells like Roses retells the story of a collection of glass vessels from the V&A collection that were excavated in Palestine and Syria. The replicas were produced in Palestine with local artisans, the Twam family, and an anonymous family that works in the black market to make and sell forgeries. The original vessels in the glass gallery are replaced with tomb cards that narrate the violence of exhuming bodies to retrieve the "grave goods" and illustrate the power of the female body in the history of archaeology. The installation was accompanied by an experimental film that stitches personal histories with the history of glass.
