Doug Heslop and Jamie Bastoli

The Moon of Bethlehem, is a collaborative exhibition between Doug Heslop and Palestinian/Filipino artist Jamie Bastoli. It consists of an installation featuring sculptures, paintings and a curated loop of Palestinian short films.

In this exhibition the artists share their grief and outrage, using shared images of Jamie's family in Jerusalem, who have used the Moon of Bethlehem as a restaurant logo (which has now closed) as indicative of their culture during the occupation and a homage to their birthplaces in Bethlehem. In the sharing and breaking down of these symbols and creating a place for audiences to grieve and reflect, the exhibition talks of humanity, compassion, and positive action in the face of genocide and the planned annihilation of a people.
