Dar Al-Anda
Co-curator: Aya Bseiso
This exhibition was a celebratory and archival journey into the life and work of the late Palestinian poet and revolutionary, Muin Bseiso. Curated in collaboration with Aya Bseiso, the showcase offered an intimate look at Bseiso, bridging the gap between his literary legacy and his private world.
The exhibition featured a rare selection of artworks from his personal collection, alongside unique memorabilia and personal items that had never before been shared with the public. These artifacts provided a window into his intellectual life, his travels, and the domestic spaces that fueled his poetic output.
To create a dialogue between Bseiso’s legacy and the contemporary Palestinian experience, the exhibition included an audiovisual installation capturing Gaza‘s sea, grounding the archival material in the physical landscape of Bseiso’s homeland. It also included contemporary art by the young Gazan artist, surviving the ongoing genocide, Hussain AlJarjawi, which provided a modern visual response to the themes of displacement, resilience, and memory central to Bseiso’s work through his poignant work.
