The exhibition addresses the resilience of Palestinian art in the face of the ongoing violence that Palestine and its people endure, and at the same time, the invaluable role of art in preserving the cultural identity of the Palestinian land and its people, in response to the Genocide.
The exhibition will open in Athens from 11 December 2025 until 15 January 2026, under the auspices of meta – the Center for Post-Capitalist Culture.
Curated by Elettra Stamboulis, with the support of Danae Stratou and Doris Hakim.
Read Moremέta – the Centre for Post-Capitalist Civilistation, is a cultural and research organisation connected to the political
movements Mera25 and Diem 25. mέta works to break with a dystopic present to imagine the world anew – to grasp our present historical moment so as to help radical progressive movements find a path from the emergent dismal postcapitalism to one worth fighting, and living, for. Culture forms one of mέta’s main priorities — since it is through art and research, argument, and poetry, that mέta works to break with a dystopic present and imagine the world
anew. Art is a trauma, crisis, anger, agony.
In art, the whole of society is embraced and encapsulated — along, of course, with its various barbarisms. Art is political by definition, as it implicitly and explicitly addresses the freedom of the individual and of the collective to express themselves and to take action.
It affects both those who produce it and those who contemplate it.
And, crucially, it has the capacity to make us think and imagine. Art can effect change — if not the world as a whole, then at least people’s perceptions and dispositions. It can criticize and challenge. Art can affect people; it can make us see reality with fresh eyes and reveal hidden perspectives. It has the power to disclose issues to us that are
kept secret or are distorted due to economic and political interests.

Doris Hakim
Doris Hakim is a Palestinian Greek visual artist and a filmmaker. Her background played a significant role in her artistic quest. In her studies, she focused on the Arab Art scene, with a strong feminist vision. Since 2020 she is doing workshops at the University of Seville at the Master’s program about Performance Art.
In 2021, she gave a lecture at the summer course “Visual Arts in the Arab World” at the International University of Andalusia and in 2024 gave a lecture about Art and Politics at the University Paris 8. She also organizes the Palestinian Film festival for mέta (Centre for Post Capitalist Civilisation) since 2021.
Many of her projects are elaborated in public spaces, which also involves the audience. Her art is her political voice, touching themes such as of human rights, religious and political abuse, gender abuse, criticizing the social injustice especially in the Middle East.
She had 4 individual exhibitions many performances and over 30 collective exhibitions in many countries.

The Space
The exhibition is hosted in a newly restored three-story neoclassical building in the heart of Athens’ ancient center, Monastiraki, generously made available by a Joradnian collector of Palestinian descent. The neighborhood, a major tourist attraction at the foot of the Acropolis, is home to the famous flea market and one of the few remaining (though non-functioning) mosques in the Greek capital, located near the Library of Hadrian. Not far from the venue is also the Greek Parliament.
We believe this location is ideal both for its symbolic resonance and for its public visibility and accessibility. It is a space rich with stories and layered identities. Furthermore, as a non-commercial initiative, the space allows artists to retain 100% of the proceeds from any sale of their work, with no commission fees.
All Eyes on Palestine: Confirmed Artists
Here is a list of the confirmed artists for the “All Eyes on Palestine” event:
This exhibition is dedicated to raising awareness about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Through the work of many Palestinian artists, we aim to create a powerful space for expression and solidarity, where art becomes a vehicle for resistance. This is why the exhibition All Eyes on Palestine is urgent and necessary.
All Eyes on Palestine is scheduled to launch in November 2025 in Athens, and later travel across Europe. Your donation will help us cover the production and transportation costs of the exhibition.
