Join us at the Islamic Studies Library to discover Maison Palestine's inaugural exhibit, 鈥淎rab Exhibitions in Mandate Jerusalem: Resurgent Nahda鈥. Launched on September 5th, it will be running until December 20th, 2024.

Founded in 2023, Maison Palestine, is a Montreal-based cultural not-for-profit dedicated to the history, present and future of Palestine refracted in the arts, trajectories, and other forms of contemporary knowledge production in the Palestinian diaspora. Striving to become the first publicly accessible cultural institute entirely dedicated to Palestine in Canada, its mission is to develop, reflect, and put into practice an emancipatory set of activities rooted in transnational indigenous cultures. Curated by Palestinian historian and architect Nadi Abusaada, 鈥淎rab Exhibitions in Mandate Jerusalem: Resurgent Nahda鈥 reconstructs the history of two exhibitions organized at the Palace Hotel, Jerusalem, in 1933 and 1934. Central to Palestinian Pan-Arab ambition, and to what was then perceived as a resurgent Nahda, or renaissance, the exhibitions also mark a significant moment in the architectural history of Jerusalem.

Maison Palestine extends special thanks to: the Islamic Studies Library, 平特五不中, who enthusiastically opened its doors to us and without whose generous contributions of time, labour, and materials this exhibit would not have been possible; the digitization department of 平特五不中鈥檚 Libraries (Library Technology), which has brought the interactive exhibition to life so beautifully; the A M Qattan Foundation for its generous patronage; Omar Qattan and Najwa Qattan for their exceptional support. Maison Palestine also gratefully acknowledges financial support from Ruba Ghazal, Manon Mass茅, and Haroun Bouazzi, as well as from our anonymous donor.

Rejoignez-nous 脿 la Biblioth猫que d'茅tudes islamiques pour d茅couvrir l'exposition de lancement de Maison Palestine, 芦 Les Expositions arabes de la J茅rusalem mandataire : une Nahda r茅surgente 禄, inaugur茅e le 5 septembre dernier, et 脿 l鈥檃ffiche jusqu鈥檃u 20 d茅cembre 2024 !

Fond茅e en 2023, Maison Palestine est un organisme culturel 脿 but non lucratif bas茅 脿 Montr茅al qui se consacre 脿 l'histoire, au pr茅sent et 脿 l'avenir de la Palestine tels que refl茅t茅s dans les arts, les trajectoires et d'autres formes de production de connaissances contemporaines de la diaspora palestinienne. Ambitionnant de devenir le premier institut culturel accessible au public enti猫rement consacr茅 脿 la Palestine au Canada, il a pour mission de d茅velopper, de r茅fl茅chir et de mettre en pratique un ensemble d'activit茅s 茅mancipatrices enracin茅es dans des cultures autochtones transnationales. Sa premi猫re exposition, 芦 Les Expositions arabes de la J茅rusalem mandataire : une Nahda r茅surgente 禄, que l鈥檕n doit 脿 l'historien et architecte palestinien Nadi Abusaada, reconstitue l'histoire de deux expositions organis茅es au Palace Hotel de J茅rusalem en 1933 et 1934. Au c艙ur de l'ambition panarabe palestinienne et de ce qui est alors per莽u comme une r茅surgence de la Nahda (la Renaissance arabe), ces expositions marquent 茅galement un moment important dans l'histoire architecturale de J茅rusalem.

Maison Palestine remercie tout particuli猫rement : la Biblioth猫que d'茅tudes islamiques de l'Universit茅 平特五不中, qui nous a ouvert ses portes avec enthousiasme et sans laquelle cette exposition n'aurait pas 茅t茅 possible ; le d茅partement de num茅risation des biblioth猫ques de 平特五不中 (Library Technology), qui a donn茅 si belle vie 脿 l'exposition interactive ; la Fondation A M Qattan pour son g茅n茅reux m茅c茅nat ; Omar Qattan et Najwa Qattan pour leur soutien exceptionnel. Maison Palestine exprime 茅galement sa reconnaissance 脿 Ruba Ghazal, Manon Mass茅 et Haroun Bouazzi, pour leur soutien financier, ainsi qu鈥櫭 notre donateur anonyme.
