Come with us to see this most poignant and unusual exhibition in Belfast.
This exhibition gathers 53 artists from Palestine and its diaspora across time and borders to reimagine the missing works of Maroun Tomb, a Palestinian-Lebanese artist, whose 1947 exhibition in Haifa was lost amid the mass displacement and dispossession of the Palestinians during the Nakba. The works resurrect a moment that was nearly erased until it was discovered in archival documents.

Drawing from the minimal information of Tomb's last exhibition in Palestine before his forced exile, the contemporary artists' responses navigate across painting, photography, multimedia, sculpture and video to move between what was and what could be. They do not reconstruct the past, but reclaim it-through fragments, gestures, and stories passed across generations. Bringing together today's rising artists alongside the trailblazers of Palestinian modern art, this exhibition is a collective act of resistance paired with interrogation of colonial violence and its consequences on multiple generations.
