Gaza Remains the Story is an exhibition produced and initiated by the Palestinian Museum. It focuses on conveying the cause and context of the Palestinian experience, with a focus on the land, places, and the people of Gaza. The exhibit strives to inform, educate and narrate stories of historical locations and cultural practices in Gaza and provide a glimpse into the arts, aspirations and uniqueness of Gaza, and what remains of it in these most difficult of times.

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 entire world. This exhibition employs text, drawings and audio-visual material to explore the historical, economic, geographic, demographic and creative aspects of life in Gaza.

We are excited to announce that with approval from the Palestinian Museum, Poplar Union will be hosting this exhibition from November 21st to 23rd, 2024. Along with an engaging programme of events (more information to follow), this exhibition will feature a rich blend of material offering an authentic insight into the history, culture, and lived experiences of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

This exhibition would not have been possible without Poplar Union’s generous support of providing the venue, the Balkanism Project funds and organisation from community curators, Arbër Qerka-Gashi & Amalia Yonaki.
