Palestinian Childhoods: Solidarity and Ṣumūd

As young Palestinians remind the world: “We are not numbers.” This exhibition responds to their insights, seeking to witness and convey Palestinian children’s struggle for everyday life, love, play and learning in the face of loss and brutality. 

The two-week programme offers an exhibition of artworks by Palestinian artists and a collection of letters from the Letters for Palestinian Childhoods project alongside an international conference, events, immersive experiences and ways to participate.
