An upcoming exhibition amplifies Palestinian voices and turns creativity into an act of defiance
In the midst of an escalating humanitarian emergency – where the machinery of genocide appears to operate with impunity – art cannot remain silent. Art, at its most urgent, is not only an expression of beauty but also a language of truth, memory, and resistance.
This conviction lies at the heart of All Eyes on Palestine, a forthcoming exhibition curated by Elettra Stamboulis (curator and writer), Doris Hakim (Greek-Palestinian artist), and Danae Stratou (artist) in collaboration with DiEM25 and mέta. Launching in Athens in November 2025 before traveling across Europe, the exhibition brings together around 20 Palestinian artists from Gaza, the West Bank, and the diaspora – the generation born between the two Intifadas.
Through painting, sculpture, installation, digital media, and performance, these artists articulate the lived traumas of displacement, occupation, and survival. Their works are not abstract explorations; they are urgent testimonies of loss and endurance, demanding that the world continue to look, to care, and to act.
Among the participating artists are Hani Zurob, Duaa Quishta, Mahmoud Alhaj, Mahasen Al Khatib (in memoriam), Mohammad Saba’aneh, Raed Issa, Basel Zaara, Mohammed Joha, Larissa Sansour, Shadi Alzaqzouq, Malak Mattar, Doris Hakim, Rana Bishara, Shareef Sarhan, Amer Shomali, Shada Safadi, Manal Mahamid, Monther Jawabreh, Bayan Abu Nahla, and Sharif Waked.
Their work will be presented across three thematic sections:
- Land – exploring belonging, dispossession, and resilience.
- Archaeologies of memory – preserving narratives often erased or denied.
- Staying, returning, departing – reflecting the struggle for the right to remain, to return, and to resist forced exile.
Together, these perspectives form a collective cultural act: one that resists erasure, preserves memory, and calls for justice.
All Eyes on Palestine is much more than an art exhibition, it is a bold act of cultural resistance and solidarity. By amplifying Palestinian voices, we aim to create a space where their creativity and heritage stand as a living testimony to their struggle.
The exhibition also serves as a reminder that Palestinian artists, and the communities they represent, are not forgotten. It invites audiences to engage, act, and support – to keep alive a conversation too often silenced.
This fight is ours. Let’s build the alternative, together.
