Where did the watermelon come from as Palestine’s loudest symbol these days? This lecture follows that question into the art scene in Palestine under occupation, and how it functioned and adapted over the years across different political ruptures. It will focus on the art scene under genocide in Gaza, and ongoing ethnic cleansing across the rest of Palestine: the resilience, solidarity, and survival.
