The Glass Gallery The glass gallery is designed to complement the artistic propositions of this exhibition. The gallery displays leaflets and wall texts with a selection of poetry, prose, infographics, chronologies, and advocacy materials. Arranged around the themes of loss, erasure, fragmentation, and resistance, these texts and figures map the political dispensation that structures the art works exhibited in the museum’s main gallery.

The loss of the land has taken numerous forms which manifests in a continual shrinking landscape. Numerous Israeli laws have been created to justify the confiscation of Palestinian land. Fragmentation The process or state of breaking or being broken into fragments.

Erasure The removal of all traces of something; obliteration. «the erasure of prior history» Palestinians experience the perpetual obliteration of the landscape through decades of village and house destruction, the eradication of trees, plants and wildlife, and the construction of Israeli settlements.
