Founded in spring 2024, the Gaza Biennale has emerged as a collective global art program with pavilion exhibitions being presented around the globe. T’karonto Pavilion: Witnessing Sumud, showcases the powerful work of Palestinian artists, created amidst unimaginable conditions in Gaza. Through devastation and the relentless siege of Gaza, artists continue to create—transforming grief into expression, pain into poetry, and destruction into determination. The T’karonto Pavilion: Witnessing Sumud emphasizes the importance of global solidarity in witnessing and affirming the unwavering perseverance (sumud) of the Palestinian people. This pavilion situates the struggle for survival, dignity, and freedom within a shared global context and the role of witnessing as an initial point of action. It emphasizes that solidarity is not only an act of empathy but of responsibility—an acknowledgment that the struggle for justice in Palestine is intertwined with the broader struggle for liberation everywhere.

We’re grateful to have catering for the opening reception provided by Louf Toronto.

Gaza Biennale T’karonto is produced with the support of the City of Toronto through Toronto Arts Council.
