‘HeART of Gaza’ children’s art exhibition @ the HI
The UCD Humanities Institute (HI) cordially invites you to the ‘HeART of Gaza’ children’s art exhibition in the HI Seminar Room H204/top floor, from 14-30 May 2025.
‘HeART of Gaza,’ an exhibition of children's art, features about 50 artworks created by children in Gaza, co-curated by Féile Butler (a conservation architect based in the west of Ireland) and Mohamed Timraz (owner of Café Grey based in Gaza).
Co-curator Féile Butler writes: ‘HeART of Gaza’ is an exhibition of art made by young Palestinians, aged 3 to 17, giving a platform to the most voiceless and the most vulnerable. The children ask us to bear witness to their terror, their weariness and loss, but also to their resilience and determination as they cling on to childhood, celebrating friendship and family, hobbies and pets, and birthday cake. An intimate invitation into their inner world, their art reminds us that every child is not a number but a whole universe.
The exhibition will be on public display in the Humanities Institute on the following dates:
- Dates: Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 May
Monday 19 - Wednesday 21 May
Monday 26, Tuesday 27, Thursday 29, and Friday 30 May - Time: 9AM-5PM
- Location: Humanities Institute Seminar Room (H204/top floor)
Attendance is free and open to the public, but please note building access is limited to the dates above.
The exhibition is part of the HI’s wider project, ‘From Modern Crisis to Permacrisis and Polycrisis’
