Inside a glass jar, a real passport issued by the Palestinian Authority is sealed. Typically, a passport grants freedom of movement and recognition, but in this piece, it's transformed into an object preserved, sealed, and silenced within a tightly sealed jar.

The PAPA Art Collection is a courageous anthology of diverse thematic explorations and ongoing research projects. Our mission: to acquire, safeguard, and cultivate a vibrant archive documenting the ongoing displacement inflicted upon the Gazan Palestinian people, while simultaneously illuminating new dimensions of contemporary Palestinian culture. We champion emerging artists—survivors whose works serve as potent testaments to the atrocities they have endured, as they are enduring a modern-day holocaust of catastrophic annihilation. We spotlight Artists and Artworks that boldly challenge and dismantle the frameworks of colonial subjugation, challenging the art world to not remain neutral or foster mediocrity. We work with Universities, Galleries, Museums and Cultural Institutions, to consult, collaborate, and assist them in curating anti-classist colonial power structural themes, as to make sure that these voices are heard. We foster and focus on vital narratives that serve to enrich our emergent wisdom and to progress our mutual goals towards a greater adaptive global community body. Justice, equity, and reformist movements reflective in the Art world are and always have been key towards a greater future. The PAPA Art Collection offers potent narratives that hold the transformative capacity to shatter the depraved structures fueling genocide as well as offering a profound antidote to the moral wounds and challenges we all confront throughout the rich multicultural tapestry of our professional endeavors.
