Eltiqa Collective's 100+ Works Shown at Jameel Arts Centre
From February 6 to July 20, 2025, Dubai’s Jameel Arts Centre will host 'Eltiqa: How to Work Together?', an exhibition curated by The Question of Funding collective. This event will feature over 100 creations from the renowned Gaza-based artist collective Eltiqa. To facilitate the display, a global network ensured the safety of the artworks, some of which were shown internationally and couldn’t return to Gaza while others were carefully relocated in late 2023. Notable artists such as Mohamed Abusal and Dina Matar will be highlighted, as well as a timeline detailing Eltiqa’s origins and their commitment to resilience and storytelling.
