SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: Why We Record
DESCRIPTION:WHY WE RECORDDefying Fragmentation and Erasure in PalestineExhibit by Visualizing Palestine and The American Friends Service Committee in partnership with the Museum of the Palestinian PeopleJoin us for our exhibit opening on Thursday\, January 15 at 6:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served\, along with opening remarks.Since October 2023\, the world has been confronted with the reality of Gaza\, but this violence did not begin then and it is not limited to Gaza. It is part of a century-long history across historic Palestine marked by displacement\, erasure\, and genocide.As Omar El Akkad warned\, there comes a time when it becomes safe to name injustice\, often when it is already too late. Throughout this history\, Palestinians have resisted erasure by creating a record of their lived experience.This exhibit highlights parts of that collective record. Through documents\, art\, writing\, images\, and testimony\, it traces the Nakba\, ongoing occupation\, and the enduring hope of return\, honoring those who continue to bear witness despite the cost.
