Group Exhibition 'In That Same Hour' at Darat al Funun Confronts Gaza Genocide Through Global Artistic Voices
Right now, there’s an exhibition called 'In That Same Hour' at Darat al Funun in Amman, Jordan, and it will be open until May 31, 2026. The show features 19 pieces from artists from various countries like Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, South Africa, Spain, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Algeria. It focuses on themes of witnessing and accountability in light of ongoing genocide, especially reflecting on the devastation in Gaza over the last two years. Some standout works include Jayce Salloum's 'cartographies (of a genocide)' from 2025, which uses satellite images to show destruction, and Zara Julius' 'Death is a Part of the Process' from 2024, linking Black and Palestinian struggles. Other notable pieces critique violence and bureaucracy, while Bady Dalloul's video reexamines the Sykes-Picot Agreement, highlighting Gaza's current crisis within a larger context of erasure.
