SUMMARY:Exhibit: Our Fire Is Stronger Than Your Bombs
DESCRIPTION:On February 24\, 2022\, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war continues until now\, ruining the lives of millions of people and uprooting the principles of civilized life as we know it. The goal of the exhibition is to raise awareness of the war still raging in the heart of Europe. Our exhibit showcases some of the brilliant artworks of contemporary Ukrainian illustrators living and working in Ukraine\, sometimes\, with no power\, water\, cell signal\, or Internet connection. Many of them have long collaborated with global media\, in particular The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Zeit\, Adweek\, and other outlets. The 25 posters on display have been created by 9 emerging and well-established illustrators since the start of the full-scale invasion. A poster\, as a form of fine art blending imagery and text\, is a convenient and iconic statement\, a means of rapid\, shareable response to the urgent events and personal emotions they trigger. In the context of the massive information war\, illustrators have become the voices of the art community\, and their activism adds tangible strength to the ‘cultural troops’ who fight propaganda every day\, broadcasting facts through artistic images and defending the truth as eyewitnesses. \n

SUMMARY:Temporary Exhibit: Ordinary Lives
DESCRIPTION:“Ordinary Lives imagines Palestinian existence as an unbroken continuum—a lineage of care\, memory\, and everyday beauty that stretches from ancient ritual to the present moment. Across the gallery\, Mona Gazala’s photographic works and George Harb’s intimate family archive come together to affirm that Palestinian life is shaped not solely by survival\, but by an enduring inheritance of joy\, dignity\, and deep interior worlds. \n \nIn Gazala’s images\, ancestral echoes surface through gestures and objects that bridge archaeology and lived experience. Portraits that invoke ancient forms of veneration and photographs that draw on the quiet symbolism of archaeological fragments work in concert to honor the overlooked\, the ordinary\, and the deeply rooted. Whether reimagining the visual language of early ancestral practices or elevating humble shards as vessels of story\, these works collectively underscore a truth that stretches across millennia: what persists is reverence—reverence for family\, land\, and the accumulated layers of Palestinian life. \n \nThese themes resonate through the collage of George Harb’s archival videos and photographs spanning the diaspora\, Ramallah\, Jerusalem\, and greater Palestine. His extensive family documentation—childhood scenes\, celebrations\, rites of passage\, and landscapes of home—reveals generations living with tenderness\, intuition\, and grounded connection. It offers a glimpse of Palestinian joy and interiority\, sustained independently of external forces and carried forward despite trauma. \n \nTogether\, Gazala’s contemporary works and Harb’s historical archive form a unified narrative of continuity: a testament to the ancient and ongoing pulse of Palestinian life. Their stories—rooted in ritual\, memory\, everyday gestures\, and deep familial ties—assert that Palestinian presence has never been broken.”

SUMMARY:Temporary Exhibit: Ordinary Lives
DESCRIPTION:“Ordinary Lives imagines Palestinian existence as an unbroken continuum—a lineage of care\, memory\, and everyday beauty that stretches from ancient ritual to the present moment. Across the gallery\, Mona Gazala’s photographic works and George Harb’s intimate family archive come together to affirm that Palestinian life is shaped not solely by survival\, but by an enduring inheritance of joy\, dignity\, and deep interior worlds. \n \nIn Gazala’s images\, ancestral echoes surface through gestures and objects that bridge archaeology and lived experience. Portraits that invoke ancient forms of veneration and photographs that draw on the quiet symbolism of archaeological fragments work in concert to honor the overlooked\, the ordinary\, and the deeply rooted. Whether reimagining the visual language of early ancestral practices or elevating humble shards as vessels of story\, these works collectively underscore a truth that stretches across millennia: what persists is reverence—reverence for family\, land\, and the accumulated layers of Palestinian life. \n \nThese themes resonate through the collage of George Harb’s archival videos and photographs spanning the diaspora\, Ramallah\, Jerusalem\, and greater Palestine. His extensive family documentation—childhood scenes\, celebrations\, rites of passage\, and landscapes of home—reveals generations living with tenderness\, intuition\, and grounded connection. It offers a glimpse of Palestinian joy and interiority\, sustained independently of external forces and carried forward despite trauma. \n \nTogether\, Gazala’s contemporary works and Harb’s historical archive form a unified narrative of continuity: a testament to the ancient and ongoing pulse of Palestinian life.

SUMMARY:Screening of “Trail Markers”
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 21 at 2 pm for a screening of Mona Gazala’s documentary film\, “Trail Markers.” Part artist autobiography and part historical documentary\, this film follows Mona’s move to rural Darke County\, Ohio\, and her discovery of the unlikely existence of a significant artifact related to Palestine’s history\, housed in the county museum just a few miles from her new home. What is the artifact\, and how did it wind up there? This film follows a winding road to the answers\, and along the way\, connects the dots between empire and diaspora.

SUMMARY:Temporary Exhibit: Ordinary Lives
DESCRIPTION:“Ordinary Lives imagines Palestinian existence as an unbroken continuum—a lineage of care\, memory\, and everyday beauty that stretches from ancient ritual to the present moment. Across the gallery\, Mona Gazala’s photographic works and George Harb’s intimate family archive come together to affirm that Palestinian life is shaped not solely by survival\, but by an enduring inheritance of joy\, dignity\, and deep interior worlds. \n \nIn Gazala’s images\, ancestral echoes surface through gestures and objects that bridge archaeology and lived experience. Portraits that invoke ancient forms of veneration and photographs that draw on the quiet symbolism of archaeological fragments work in concert to honor the overlooked\, the ordinary\, and the deeply rooted. Whether reimagining the visual language of early ancestral practices or elevating humble shards as vessels of story\, these works collectively underscore a truth that stretches across millennia: what persists is reverence—reverence for family\, land\, and the accumulated layers of Palestinian life. \n \nThese themes resonate through the collage of George Harb’s archival videos and photographs spanning the diaspora\, Ramallah\, Jerusalem\, and greater Palestine. His extensive family documentation—childhood scenes\, celebrations\, rites of passage\, and landscapes of home—reveals generations living with tenderness\, intuition\, and grounded connection. It offers a glimpse of Palestinian joy and interiority\, sustained independently of external forces and carried forward despite trauma. \n \nTogether\, Gazala’s contemporary works and Harb’s historical archive form a unified narrative of continuity: a testament to the ancient and ongoing pulse of Palestinian life. Their stories—rooted in ritual\, memory\, everyday gestures\, and deep familial ties—assert that Palestinian presence has never been broken.”
