The Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin has opened Eltiqa: How to Work Together?, an exhibition of more than 60 works by six artists from the Gaza City collective Eltiqa, Hot Press reported.
The artists are Mohamed Abusal, Abdel Raouf Al-Ajouri, Mohammed Al-Hawajri, Raed Issa, Dina Matar and Sohail Salem. Some of the works were carried out of Gaza by members of the collective, while others were smuggled out to preserve them.
“I hope this exhibition will amplify their voices and convey a powerful message of resilience and hope.”
