GAZA REMAINS THE STORY: AN EXHIBITION
GAZA REMAINS THE STORY: AN EXHIBITION
November 17 — November 27, 2025
School for 5 (Gallery of the Croatian School Museum), Hebrangova 5, Zagreb
Opening hours: Monday to Friday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Exhibition Opening: Monday, November 17, at 7 PM
Gaza Remains the Story is a travelling exhibition of the Palestinian Museum in Ramallah. It has been prepared so that it can be easily printed, curated, and set up anywhere in the world – in any space that wants to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and speak out against the genocide perpetrated against it by the State of Israel.
Miscellaneous materials – from texts and drawings to photographs – bring us information and stories about the context in which the people of Gaza live and struggle to survive, but also create art. “While the deafening noise of incessant bombing destroys the everyday life, heritage, art, and creativity of the people of Palestine, this exhibition seeks to look behind the scenes of war and conquest,” the authors say.
The exhibition opens on Monday, November 17, at 7 p.m., and you can visit it during the School for 5 opening hours, until November 27. The materials displayed are in English. For the duration of the exhibition, you will be able to leave donations for the Nepokorena Palestina collective.
The exhibition is part of a program that opens a conversation on how the museum community – domestic and international – reacts to the genocide of the Palestinian people. How does it solidarize? In what why does solidarity and its boundaries resonate with broader local socio-political realities? Are museums subject to censorship and self-censorship? How do museum workers build and nurture long-term relationships with the activist community and the continuity of socially engaged practices?
We will focus on these topics in an international seminar, which will be held on November 26-27. Curators from Madrid, Ljubljana, Ramallah, and Zagreb will speak about socially engaged and solidary museum practices. The program will close the Gaza Remains the Story exhibition. It is open to everyone and free of charge, and the working language is English.
Wednesday, November 26, 5 – 8 p.m.
