This exhibition approaches Palestinian visual art as a memory ecosystem structured around five pillars: Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank, the 1948 territories, and exile. The show brings together painting, drawing, photography, video, and installations by artists who examine the persistence of memory in the face of displacement and loss. These works function as an informal archive, highlighting cultural resistance practices against systemic destruction.

The venue
Edifici de l'Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu
Raval's Civil Gothic: from hospital to National Library.
In the heart of Raval, the Old Hospital de la Santa Creu Building stands as a landmark of Catalan civil Gothic architecture. Founded in 1401 to centralize Barcelona's healthcare, this complex operated for over five centuries, witnessing the city's urban and medical evolution, and where Antoni Gaudí spent his last days in 1926. Today, its halls and courtyards host the Biblioteca de Catalunya, the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, and the Reial Acadèmia de Medicina, complete with its remarkable 18th-century anatomical amphitheater. A historic vestige reimagined as a cultural epicenter.
