Join us for an online public programme exploring the history and collaborative practices of the artist collective Eltiqa. As part of the exhibition ‘Eltiqa: How to Work Together?’, this virtual conversation will bring together members of Eltiqa and The Question of Funding for an open dialogue. They will reflect on their shared histories in Gaza and the logistical and emotional challenges of continuing to create amidst rupture and dispersion.
This event emerges from an urgent need to archive artistic memory and explore the exhibition as a living archive. At a time of ongoing displacement and scattering of Palestinian artistic communities, this programme offers a vital opportunity to gather while apart, and to speak together across distances.
The discussion will delve into the journey of collective work, crossing time, borders, and upheavals, and will highlight how the artworks themselves serve as records of resilience and survival.
The session will be held in Arabic, with live English interpretation available.
Eltiqa Artists: Mohamed Abusal, Abdel Raouf Al-Ajouri, Mohammed Al-Hawajri, Raed Issa, Dina Matar, Sohail Salem
In collaboration with The Question of Funding members: Lara Khaldi and Yazan Khalili
Link to the programme will be shared upon RSVP

For over twenty years, Eltiqa members have developed artistic practices together – including the setting up of a dedicated exhibition and workshop space in Gaza City, and supporting younger generations of artists through workshops, exhibitions and by offering a space to meet and dialogue
The Question of Funding is a growing collective of cultural producers and community organizers from Palestine. By producing, documenting, accumulating, and disseminating resources, experience, and knowledge with their wider community, it aims to rethink the economy of funding and how it affects cultural production both in Palestine and the world.
