Palestinian Artists Turn War’s Aftermath Into Art as Gaza Ceasefire Nears One Year

As the first anniversary of the ceasefire in Gaza approaches, Palestinian artists inside and outside the territory continue to use art as a means of survival.

Their work turns the traces of war into artistic expression, placing the experience of its aftermath at the centre of their creative practice.

For these artists, making art is more than a professional pursuit. It is a way to keep creating amid the disruption left by war, with survival itself becoming part of the purpose of their work.

The approaching anniversary brings that continuing effort into focus. Both within Gaza and beyond it, Palestinian artists are responding to the war’s legacy through the works they create.
