The exhibition addresses the resilience of Palestinian art in the face of the ongoing violence that Palestine and its people endure, and at the same time, the
invaluable role of art in preserving the cultural identity of the Palestinian land and its people, in response to the Genocide.
In the midst of a humanitarian emergency, in this era where genocide seems to go unchecked, art cannot remain silent.
This is why the exhibition All Eyes on Palestine is urgent and necessary. The generation of artists born between the two Intifadas expresses an artistic quality that needs to be recognized and named.
Contemporary Palestinian art exists—even if often confined to the diaspora. A colonial attitude, in many forms, censors its existence, naming the countries where the artists were born while erasing their origins, or simply silencing their voices, as recently happened at the Whitney Museum.
The exhibition will be hosted in Athens, in the historical center of the city, where since the 6th century BC, the soul of encounter, commerce, and exchange—the agora—has lived. The space is a
restored neoclassical building, generously offered by its owners for this purpose.
The three curators—Elettra Stamboulis (curator and writer), Danae Stratou (artist), and Doris Hakim (Greek-Palestinian artist)—have selected 15 artists whose clear-sighted and poetic perspectives
of the Palestinian reality are expressed through diverse visual media, ranging from comics and painting to installation and performance.
The working team, promoted by mέta (The Centre for Post Capitalist Civilisation), is a cultural institution whose advisory board includes figures such as Noam Chomsky, Shirin Neshat, Brian Eno,
and Yanis Varoufakis, is made up of professionals who have mobilized out of passion for this cause.
We are asking for your support to realize this project and to enable it to travel across Europe and beyond. Art, with its power that transcends language, allows a vital message to be communicated—one that can no longer be postponed.
Palestinian art exists.
It’s time for Palestine to exist as well.
