The Palestinian Ministry of Culture inaugurated the “100 Paintings from Gaza” exhibition last Wednesday, showcasing works by artists from the Gaza Strip. This exhibition aims to highlight the cultural life and the challenges faced by the Palestinian people due to the ongoing Israeli war since October 7, 2023.
The organizers of the exhibition, which will run until next Tuesday evening, stated that “the paintings are among the few survivors of the Israeli war, including a piece by the martyred Palestinian artist Heba Zaqout.”
