This design embraces the curatorial themes and structure through choices that enable a cohesive narrative while preserving the distinct identity of each artwork and fostering dialogue between different artists and themes.
The exhibition reflects the curatorial vision through a spatial layout that merges and organizes diverse themes, works, and media—subtly echoing, without rhetoric, the evolving representations of the Palestinian landscape.
The exhibition route is designed so that the glass gallery becomes the final chapter in a narrative that moves from the “represented landscape” to the real one—visible directly through the gallery’s transparent walls. This concluding space features a wall of maps and statistical data that trace the historical and contemporary transformations of the Palestinian landscape.
