Seventy-seven years of displacement, violence and destruction.

The Nakba has not ended. It continues through the genocide in Gaza and the ongoing assault on Palestinian life.

Darat al Funun - The Khalid Shoman Foundation stands in solidarity with Gaza, and with all Palestinians living with the daily realities of settler-colonial occupation.

We recognise the artists, curators, and cultural workers in Palestine and around the world. Through their work, they continue to reclaim narratives, forge alliances, and demand justice. 

In this moment, we turn to the archive, not for what was, but for what continues.

For 72 hours, we are streaming a selection of video works from the Khalid Shoman Collection.

Produced at different moments in the Palestinian struggle, these works hold witness to the realities of occupation and collective resistance. 

They speak not only of what was taken, but of what refuses to be erased.

Works by  Emily Jacir, Jumana Emil Abboud, Oraib Toukan, Basma Al Sharif, Samira Badran, and Suha Shoman
