To drive in Palestine is to pass through a landscape cut by walls, watchtowers, gates, and fenceswhere every turn, every stretch of road, is marked by a regime
of control. For over a decade, artist Rehab Nazzal documented the violent architecture of Israeli apartheid through collecting photographs, video, and sound.

Driving in Palestine brings together photographs taken from moving vehicles between 2010 and 2020. What emerges is a cartography of restriction and erasure: a land fractured into zones, a people fragmented by permits, color-coded licenses, military checkpoints, military watchtowers, and segregated streets. The view from the car window reveals the ordinary brutality of occupationthe slow strangulation of movement, land, and life.

This iteration of Driving in Palestine brings the work out of the traditional gallery, into the streets and into the very concrete of the city. As settler-colonial violence unfolds in real time and the genocide continues, Driving in Palestine insists on presence, proximity, and collective witnessing.

The exhibition catalyses a series of city-wide space activations in solidarity with Palestine, in what we are calling Freedom School programming that includes
community-led events, teach-ins, and workshops focusing on Palestinian, Indigenous, intersectional feminist, and anti-colonial liberation.

All works will also be available to purchase in an online auction throughout the duration of the show. All funds will go toward supporting Amani, a young
girl from Palestine who was featured in Vibrations from Gaza (2023), Nazzals documentary film on the Atfaluna Society for Deaf Children.
