In Solidarity with Palestine

24 October 2023 – 22 May 2024

In light of the tragic situation currently unfolding in Palestine, which is manifesting in the loss of countless innocent lives, the amplification of artists' voices is needed now more than ever. Artists are witnesses to the injustices of our world today, and offer new visions for how we may live in the future. This is why Darat al Funun is here today.

Artworks on display from the Khalid Shoman Collection by artists:  Samira Badran, Jumana Emil Abboud, Rula Halawani, Mona Hatoum, Khaled Hourani, Emily Jacir, Abdul Hay Mosallam, Ahmad Nawash, Ismail Shammout, Laila Shawa, Wael Shawky, and Suha Shoman, currently on display.

The exhibited works expose the oppression of the Israeli occupation. They include images of the separation wall, video works about Palestinian experiences through the checkpoints, and documentation of the devastating Israeli aggression since 2002 and the uprooting of trees in the occupied territories.
