'Art Saved My Life': The Story of Palestinian Artist Rana Bishara

In this episode, Palestinian artist Rana Bishara reflects on how art became a lifeline—preserving memory, dignity and identity in the face of erasure. Speaking from Galilee, she shares her story of growing up on the Lebanese border, surviving ongoing trauma, and transforming resistance into creative practice. Through performance, public art, and memory-work, Bishara shows how art becomes both testimony and defiance under occupation. ALL EYES ON PALESTINE EHXIBITION

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.
