Η έκθεση All Eyes On Palestine ολοκληρώθηκε επίσημα, όμως το πνεύμα που δημιούργησε παραμένει ζωντανό. Μετά από εβδομάδες κοινών εμπειριών, συζητήσεων, εικόνων και συναισθημάτων, συναντιόμαστε για μία τελευταία φορά ώστε να γιορτάσουμε όλα όσα ξεδιπλώθηκαν σε αυτή τη διαδρομή.

Ας κλείσουμε αυτό το κεφάλαιο μαζί - δυνατά, χαρούμενα και με ευγνωμοσύνη.

Σε μια εποχή όπου η τέχνη δεν μπορεί να παραμένει σιωπηλή, η έκθεση All Eyes on Palestine ανέδειξε τη σύγχρονη παλαιστινιακή καλλιτεχνική δημιουργία ως χώρο μνήμης, αντίστασης και πολιτιστικής επιβίωσης.

Μέσα από διαφορετικά μέσα -από εικαστικά και comics έως εγκαταστάσεις και performance- η έκθεση φωτίζει τη δύναμη της τέχνης να διατηρεί ζωντανή την πολιτιστική ταυτότητα ενός λαού απέναντι στη συνεχιζόμενη βία.

Για να σηματοδοτήσουμε αυτό το κλείσιμο, σας προσκαλούμε σε τρεις εκδηλώσεις που ανοίγουν τον χώρο της τέχνης στη συζήτηση, τη μνήμη και την πολιτική πράξη.

📌 Παρασκευή 23 Ιανουαρίου

Ημερίδα | Είναι η τέχνη πολιτικό εργαλείο αντίστασης; (με Χριστίνα-Φοίβη, Βίλη Σωτηροπούλου, Ντόρις Χακίμ, Ηλέκτρα Σταμπούλη)

Μια ανοιχτή συζήτηση για το τι έγινε, τι κάνουμε και τι μπορούμε ακόμη να κάνουμε.

📌 Σάββατο 24 Ιανουαρίου

🔹 Ξενάγηση à la 2666 του Ρομπέρτο Μπολάνιο: με τις Ηλέκτρα Σταμπούλη, Δανάη Στράτου και Ντόρις Χακίμ

🔹 Συζήτηση: Οι πληγές της γης - Ανατέμνοντας επί του εδάφους την κρατική βία (με Στέφανο Λεβίδη, Άλκηστη Πρέσπη και Κώστα Ράπτη)

Τρεις στιγμές στο φινάλε μιας έκθεσης που άνοιξε αναγκαίους χώρους πολιτιστικού και πολιτικού διαλόγου.

Sarhan Shareef is a freelance photographer and designer born in Gaza, Sarhan is a founding member of the “Windows from Gaza for Contemporary Art” group. He earned a diploma in arts from the ICS in the United States and has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, such as at The Arts and Crafts Village and The Port Gallery in Gaza, in addition to exhibiting his work in Palestine and abroad.

He has chosen art as a tool for survival and resistance in a land marked by continuous siege and daily deprivation. Sarhan is always carrying with him the urgency to tell stories often invisible to the rest of the world. “For me, photography is an act of care, a way to restore dignity to those who seem destined for oblivion,” he states.
The All Eyes on Palestine Exhibition raises awareness about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Through the work of Palestinian artists, it creates a space for expression and solidarity, where art becomes a form of resistance.

It showcases a generation of artists whose work preserves the cultural identity of the land and its people. Their art bears witness to Palestinian identity shaped by ongoing trauma and struggle, compelling us to keep our eyes on Palestine.

Curated by Elettra Stamboulis with co-curators Danae Stratou and Doris Hakim, the exhibition is presented in three sections: Land, Archaeologies of Memory, and Staying, Returning, Departing

Η Rana Bishara παρουσίασε στο opening της έκθεσης All Eyes on Palestine, την έντονα φορτισμένη περφόρμανς Body Rage, αφιερωμένη στον θετό της γιο, που σκοτώθηκε πρόσφατα από βομβαρδισμό,

Μια πράξη μνήμης και προσωπικής μαρτυρίας, όπου το σώμα γίνεται φορέας πένθους, οργής και σιωπής.

Η τέχνη ως ανάγκη, ως αντίδραση, ως τρόπος να ειπωθεί αυτό που δεν μπορεί να περιγραφεί με λόγια.

Πληροφορίες έκθεσης: Διάρκεια έκθεσης: 12 Δεκεμβρίου 2025 - 25 Ιανουαρίου 2026 Διεύθυνση: Καρόρη 15 & Βορέου 4, Αθήνα. Ώρες λειτουργίας: Τετάρτη 16:00-21:00, Πέμπτη έως Σάββατο 11:00-21:00, Κυριακή 11:00-15:00

Rana Bishara presented the deeply emotionally charged performance Body Rage, dedicated to her stepson, who was recently killed in a bombing, at the opening of the exhibition All Eyes on Palestine.

An act of remembrance and personal testimony, where the body becomes a vessel of grief, rage, and silence.

Art as necessity, as resistance, as a way to express what cannot be put into words.

Σε ιδιαίτερα δυναμική και συναισθηματική έναρξη, η έκθεση All Eyes on Palestine, άνοιξε τις πόρτες της στην καρδιά του ιστορικού κέντρου της Αθήνας, συνοδευόμενη από την περφόρμανς “Body Rage” της Rana Bishara - μια σωματική πράξη μνήμης, αντίστασης και παρουσίας.

Σε μια μουσική έκπληξη απολαύσαμε τον Tim Booth των James που, συνοδευόμενος από τον γνωστό μουσικό Λάμπη Κουντουρόγιαννη (Imam Baildi, Μουσικό Κουτί) αφιέρωσε δύο από τα αγαπημένα τραγούδια του συγκροτήματος στην έκθεση,
σε ένα σύντομο αλλά φορτισμένο perform, που υπογράμμισε τον διεθνή χαρακτήρα και τη συλλογική διάσταση της έκθεσης.

Η All Eyes on Palestine αποτελεί μια έκθεση-ορόσημο της σύγχρονης παλαιστινιακής τέχνης, παρουσιάζοντας έργα 20 Παλαιστίνιων καλλιτεχνών που γεννήθηκαν ανάμεσα στην Πρώτη και τη Δεύτερη Ιντιφάντα και σήμερα ζουν και εργάζονται στη Γάζα, τη Δυτική Όχθη, τη Γαλλία, το Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο και αλλού.

Μέσα από ζωγραφική, σχέδιο, χαρακτική, κόμικς, φωτογραφία, βίντεο, εγκαταστάσεις, περφόρμανς και πολυμέσα, οι καλλιτέχνες μετατρέπουν την εμπειρία της κατοχής, της εξορίας και της βίας σε πράξεις δημιουργίας, μαρτυρίας και πολιτιστικής επιβεβαίωσης.

Η τέχνη λειτουργεί εδώ ως εργαλείο μνήμης, αντίστασης και επιμονής στην ύπαρξη.

📍 Καρόρη 15 & Βορέου 4, Αθήνα
🗓 Διάρκεια έκθεσης: 12 Δεκεμβρίου 2025 – 25 Ιανουαρίου 2026

With an especially powerful and emotionally charged opening, All Eyes on Palestine opened its doors in the heart of Athens’ historic center, accompanied by “Body Rage”, a performance by Rana Bishara - a corporeal act of memory, resistance, and presence.

Following the performance we were treated to a musical surprise by Tim Booth of James who, accompanied by renowned musician Lambis Koundourogiannis (Imam Baildi, Music Box) dedicated two of the band's favourite songs to the exhibition.

The exhibition encourages us to see Palestine as a place that is being revealed anew through the eyes of its artists.

All Eyes on Palestine is a landmark exhibition of contemporary Palestinian art, presenting works by 20 Palestinian artists born between the First and Second Intifadas, who now live and work in Gaza, the West Bank, France, the United Kingdom, and beyond.

Through painting, drawing, printmaking, comics, photography, video, installations, performance, and multimedia practices, the artists transform experiences of occupation, exile, and violence into acts of creation, testimony, and cultural affirmation.

Here, art functions as a tool of memory, resistance, and persistence of existence.

In this episode, Gazan artist Shareef Sarhan speaks about discovering art in a place with no museums, no galleries, and no formal training — only determination. (watch full episode here: https://youtu.be/FLaQT2l3sdo ) He shares how he built one of Gaza’s first contemporary art collectives, helping young artists develop their voice under siege. Sarhan reflects on memory, community, and the dual role of being both a documentarian and an artist in a place being erased.

In this episode, artist Manal Mahamid (watch full episode here: https://youtu.be/SaCrG-Qjres ) reflects on growing up in a rural Palestinian village where even the landscape was weaponised to erase identity. She speaks about creating art from the land itself -soil, stones, plants-and how her work exposes the colonial logic behind forests, monuments, and “reclaimed” green spaces. Mahamid’s practice transforms memory, displacement, and resistance into a visual language rooted in place.

Manal Mahamid is an artist born in the village of Muawiya, near Umm El-Fahem, in Palestine. Since 1996, her work has been featured in over 60 group exhibitions, including shows in London and New York. In 2007, she received the Riwaq Biennale Resident Artist award from the Delfina Foundation and was selected as a finalist for the A.M. Qattan Young Artist Award in 2005. Her multimedia works focus on Palestinian existence and identity.

Manal Mahamid uses video, installation, painting, sculpture, and photography to explore the tensions between Palestinian identity, landscape, and colonial narratives. Her artistic practice is fueled by research into collective memory and the transformation of Palestine’s landscapes, particularly through the project The Palestinian Gazelle, which symbolically represents the condition of Palestinians within the colonial and occupier system. The gazelle, often renamed the Israeli Gazelle in Israeli zoos, is portrayed with an amputated leg - a powerful metaphor for the mutilation of identity and territorial continuity.

Jawabreh imbues his work with the weight and strength of an existence marked by colonisation, military occupation, and internal exile. His biography is not just a context, but an expressive matrix: the direct experience of deprivation, structural violence and instability translates into images that do not represent suffering, but process it, transform it, and etch it onto paper and canvas like indelible marks.

Jawabreh’s artistic language is characterised by extreme versatility: painting, printmaking, installation, and performance coexist in a practice that does not shy away from engaging with material or with time. His works often use ancient techniques -such as linoleum print or drawing- but are charged with a contemporary tension that makes them visual urgencies. Erased or overlapping bodies and faces repeat in his works, like ghosts of a population that is always present yet constantly rendered invisible.

In this powerful interview (watch full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcZ57OIhbZQ), Palestinian artist Monther Jawabreh reflects on growing up in a refugee camp and discovering art as a way to fight for his people’s story. He speaks about collective memory, political commitment, and why concrete has become his material of resistance. Jawabreh's work transforms loss into testimony, challenging erasure through form, memory and struggle.
