Turning IDF Footage Into Art: Mahmoud Alhaj's Story From Gaza to Exile

In this important dialogue, Mahmoud Alhaj discusses life in Gaza, the experience of displacement, and the urgency of documenting violence from the victim's perspective. He reveals how he works with Israeli military footage to expose what is hidden behind the aesthetics of "efficiency" and power. The interview also highlights the solidarity within the Palestinian artistic community and the role of art as memory, critique, and resistance during genocide.

ALL EYES ON PALESTINE EXHIBITION

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.

MORE INFO All Eyes on Palestine will be launched in December 2025 in Athens, and later travel across Europe. Your donation will help us cover the production and transportation costs of the exhibition.
