Resume

'What Becomes of Eid' is an interactive exhibition aiming to raise awareness and understanding of the Palestinian narrative, particularly focusing on the war in Gaza, through the voices of children and youth. The project targets both Palestinian diaspora communities in Denmark and Danish youth with limited knowledge of Palestine. Through visual art, text, and sound installations, the exhibition presents firsthand perspectives of Gaza's children, challenging simplified media narratives. Workshops, led by the Tamer Institute, offer creative activities for younger audiences and conversational sessions for older participants. The project utilizes social media campaigns, local media coverage, and school outreach to engage the target audience, aiming to foster empathy, understanding, and critical engagement with the Palestinian narrative.
