Created by The Palestine Museum: “In loving memory of the late Hikmat Maher Kaddoura, may his soul rest in eternal peace”
Presented by Diss Palestine Solidarity as part of the Platforma Festival (October 2025) produced by Counterpoints Arts.
Gaza Remains the Story exhibits the cause and context of the Palestinian experience, focusing on the land, places, and people of Gaza. The exhibition strives to inform, educate, and narrate stories of historical locations and cultural practices in Gaza, providing a glimpse into Gaza’s arts, aspirations, and uniqueness—what remains of it in these harsh times.
While the deafening noise of never-ending bombardment drowns out the daily life, heritage, artistic expression, and creativity of the people of Palestine, this exhibition strives to look behind the curtains of the theatre of war and conquest. By narrating the stories of Gaza and countering misinformation, “Gaza Remains the Story” aims to provide a global audience with information and references to contextualise Gaza within Palestine, the region, and the world. This exhibition employs text, drawings, and audiovisual material to explore historical, economic, geographic, demographic, and creative aspects of life in Gaza.
