EXPRESSIONS OF NAKBA is an international competition and exhibition to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Nakba; the expulsion and dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and land in 1948. The exhibit strives to present the extraordinary narrative of a dispossessed people through a diverse range of expressions that interpret the collective identity, historic struggle, and emotional experience of the Nakba for the Palestinians.
