Picasso in Palestine is a project that Houranirealizedin collaboration with the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven . In June 2011, Pablo Picasso's original painting Buste de Femme (1943), which is part of the Van Abbemuseum's collection, was transported from Eindhoven to Ramallah, where it wasexhibitedat the International Academy of Art for three weeks. What would normally have been a standard loan process between two institutions took two years (2009–2011) due to the exceptional situation in Palestine. The project raises many questions. Extensive security precautions, negotiations and restructuring in the areas of law, insurance and administration were necessary.

The director Rashid Masharawi shot the documentary Picasso in Palestine together with Khaled Hourani , which was shown at dOCUMENTA (13) . Amjad Ghannam, imprisoned at the time, sent a postcard with a drawing of the painting Buste de Femme from the Glabou central prison as his contribution to the documenta .
