As people from around the world take to the streets for Palestine, the Museum of the Palestinian People seeks to provide a space that renews our connection to each other and educates the public about who we are.
Even as attempts to erase our art, culture, and people continue, we invite you to join us for two days of solidarity in sharing the art of Palestinian resistance and الصمود (Samud, steadfastness).
Join us for “Preserving Palestinian Identity: Art as Resistance,” a two-day event for all ages in the nation’s capital.
On Saturday, our community will come together for a family-friendly day of Palestinian history lessons, a Voices from Gaza Reading, art from Palestinian artists, Palestinian food, live painting, kite education and painting table, and henna tattoos.
