Art in Ruins: Persistence and Resistance
Against the backdrop of an exciting new exhibition of work by five Gazan Artists and curated by Gav McIntosh from Artists Supporting Palestine, we will be screening three short films, showing how art endures against erasure—provoking change, inspiring solidarity, and reaffirming life and humanity.
The Art Exhibition runs from 21st November to 19th December and showcases the work of five renowned Gazan Artists. Limited Edition prints of the work will be on sale throughout.
Naji Al Ali – An Artist with a Vision (53 mins).
Documentary 1999 (Iraq, Palestine, UK). Language: Arabic/English subtitles, 53 Minutes. Director: Kasim Abid
The film tells the story of the Palestinian cartoonist behind Handala, the barefoot refugee boy who became a symbol of resistance. Through interviews and imagery, the film explores Al-Ali’s fearless art, his fight for justice, and the risks that led to his assassination in 1987.
No Words – Malak Mattar (7 mins) Documentary 2024 (UK). Director: Hunter Logan. Language: English.
Watch Palestinian artist and activist Malak Mattar embark on her boldest work yet: a colossal painting of loss, resistance, and hope. Recalling her experiences growing up in occupied Gaza, No Words bears witness to her life there and joins the global call for a ceasefire and an end to the Israel-Hamas war.
