The Event.

Friends of Al Aqsa is proud to present The Museum of Palestinian Art and Culture

This pop-up museum is dedicated to sharing the history of Palestine while celebrating its rich art, culture, and enduring traditions. Through stories, creativity and heritage, we invite the community to learn, reflect, and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

The exhibition will include:

Echoes Of The Heart : A powerful photo series by Farrar, capturing two years of children protesting the genocide in Palestine.

The 355 Exhibition : A powerful public memorial featuring a replica of the bullet-riddled car in which a 6-year-old Palestinian girl, Hind Rajab, her family, and the paramedics sent to rescue her were killed in Gaza in January 2024.

The Jenin Horse Installation: Recreated by a Yorkshire artist, the Jenin Horse — originally built in 2003 and destroyed on 29 October 2023 by the IDF — has become a symbol of solidarity at demonstrations across England.
