The war crimes and other atrocities being perpetrated by Israel in its project of colonialist occupation, land expropriation and ethnic cleansing cannot be allowed to be forgotten, least of all by those who continue to live in denial of what is happening.

In this recording the artist recounts the way Israeli's tanks surrounded their home and fired shells at their house, and some of her relatives were martyred. Aya Juha (b. in 1991, Gaza, displaced in North Gaza) Aya Juha’s work has long sought to find some meaning from the relentless suffering of Palestinians subjected to imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom. How does the experience of an individual reflect and connect to the collective struggle? What does it mean to claim ownership of a body when Palestinians are subjected to what amounts to out-of-body, inhumane treatment? In this context, the body exists in fragments. Do we assume it to be whole if we are not free? Juha sets out to document a body in fragments. By symbolizing pain and unbelievable hardships, she evokes a collective sense of belonging and purpose. Individual lives, fragmented from each other, become a collective experience. GAZA BIENNALE BERLIN PAVILLION, November 21 to December 21, 2025 Exhibitions: Flutgraben, Khan Aljanub, AGIT, MBC Public programs: Galerie & Atelier Arabisk, Casino for Social Medicine, Spore Initiative, and KM28 The Gaza Biennale, an art project rooted in displacement, scatters like seeds around the world to create new hybrids. Through repetition and reproduction, artworks survive the destruction of a genocidal war machine and reappear by virtue of partnerships in different parts of the world. Transcending territory, the Gaza Biennale expands through a human topography that cannot possibly be besieged. Defying genocide, Gazan artists have continued creating, resisting seemingly endless displacements, bombardments, and forced starvation through their art.
