"One installation features an olive tree that has keys hanging from the homes of Palestinian refugees, signifying their right to return to those homes one day. There is also an audio program featuring recordings of spoken histories from Palestine and music from there. Faisal Saleh also explained, “Palestinian art is the most effective way to tell the Palestinian story to the world. We hope to show the world that, despite living in exile and under the most difficult conditions under occupation, Palestinian artists are able to excel and produce inspiring works of art that celebrate the beauty of Palestine, the strength of its people, and its rich cultural heritage.” Check Out The First Ever Palestinian Art Exhibition At The Venice Biennale 2022

"The Palestine Museum US made history when it opened as the first institution dedicated to Palestinian art in the Western Hemisphere. It made history again when it celebrated the breadth of a diaspora through its “Palestine Art Week,” which has continued to grow in a pandemic. This spring, it will break another global barrier with its participation in the Venice Biennale.
Palestine Museum Founder and Executive Director Faisal Saleh made that news public this week, as he announced the museum as one of 31 “Collateral Events” to participate in the 59th annual La Biennale di Venezia curated by Cecilia Alemani. Curated by Nancy Nesvet, head curator at the Palestine Museum, the exhibition From Palestine With Art will feature 19 Palestinian artists who are living across the diaspora, from New York, Boston and New Jersey to Kuwait, Jordan, Luxembourg, and Palestine itself.
"“The mantra of the exhibition is very optimistic,” Nesvet said on a recent Zoom call with Saleh. “I wanted to show that this is such a beautiful place that is shared by a beautiful people that is still there after 4,000 years … that despite all the violence and destruction that's going on, the connection that people have to nature in Palestine has not been abandoned.”
