Wars on Gaza

This section documents the brutal wars on Palestine, starting with the Balfour Declaration and British mandate, followed by the Naksa, the Stone Intifada, and the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000. It covers the wars and massacres resulting from Israeli aggression in Gaza since 2000, culminating in the recent genocide. The section highlights the blockade's devastating impact, including starvation, death, and the displacement of over two million Palestinians.

International solidarity

This section addresses the bias of international law in favour of Israel, highlighting the U.S. veto power in the Security Council on matters related to Palestine, which has hindered Palestinian refugees' right of return and self-determination, eroding trust in international law. Despite political injustice, the exhibition emphasises the hope Palestinians have found in global solidarity movements supporting their cause since the 1920s, and the role of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement in calling for sanctions against Israel.

Does it?

In its final poster component, the exhibition takes a stand, emphatically stressing the importance of understanding the Palestinian cause to adopt a moral position. We are reminded that the transformations in global public opinion and the rise of solidarity with the Palestinian cause were borne from unrestricted access to knowledge.

How do we promot?

This knowledge was game-changing and, we believe, will ultimately culminate in justice and liberation for Palestinians. Through this exhibition, the free of the world are called to push for real action to achieve justice for the Palestinians, and to be inspired to visit Palestine if they can and be welcomed by us on the ground.  

Is it free?

Exhibitions are available for free, and the Museum does not charge any fees for their use. The host is responsible for the cost of printing and all expenses related to exhibition set-up, which vary depending on the nature of the location, the materials used for printing, the size of the prints, and the exhibition space.

On the Wing of an Angel

This artwork takes us across vast expanses of clay into the heart of Jerusalem, within its ancient walls. Through the cracks in the clay, we witness the city’s adornments, fractures, solitude, and the waters of its oasis that breathe life into all its corners. Here, Jerusalem appears as a destination for the traveler, the fighter, the struggler, the believer, the worshiper, the refugee, the wanderer, and the lover. Torn paths lead to it, testing the seekers’ resolve and the depth of their faith in the necessity of reaching the heart of the world.

New Visions

The New Visions group was established during the First Palestinian Intifada in 1989, a period when everything echoed a call for freedom. During this monumental era, an entire people rose above their profound wounds, united in declaring: "No voice rises above the voice of the Intifada". 

The March of Trees

We stand like high trees,
roots embracing the earth,
branches cradling the sky.
We nurture one another,
our trunks, the skin of the land,
our limbs, dyed with the henna of struggle.
And when we command the forest to march,
it will march,
toward tomorrow,
toward freedom.
Our steps crawl toward the horizon,
where a home and a dream await.
We become a forest,
welded together in our journey,
the individual bears the essence of the whole,

The Eternal Quest on the Mediterranean Shores

A return to the first stirrings of life: fire and wood.
To the dawn of writing, where the trembling hand of a Canaanite
etched the first letters in the sands of Sinai's desert.
A return to the earliest symbols of magic,
to hands weaving spells
to ward off dangers and shield against the perils of sea and mountain.
A return to the first voyage across the sea,
seeking the eternal on Mediterranean shores.
A return to the primal quest for immortality,
the journey of Gilgamesh.

Guardians of the Land (2024)

In this mural, Vera Tamari revisits Tale of a Tree (2002), an installation of small ceramic olive trees she created during the Israeli incursion of the West Bank as a tribute to the olive tree and as a statement of protest. Tale of a Tree decries the deliberate and systematic daily destruction and uprooting of hundreds of olive trees perpetrated by the Israeli military machinery and the illegal settlers.
