The Museum held a symposium titled Archiving in the Palestinian Context on 23 September 2019 at its premises in Birzeit. It examined the relationships among archive, power, the people and colonial hegemony, in addition to probing the significance of archiving. It also explored the archive as a tool of power and resistance and examined its relationship to art. The symposium was led by Roger Heackok, PhD (via Skype), Yasmin Eid-Sabbagh (via Skype), artist Abdullah Ghassan, and archivists with the Palestinian Museum Digital Archive project, Samar Ozrail, and Dia Hroub.
