We cordially invite you to join us at the opening reception for the Nakba Museum Project of Memory and Hope on Friday, June 12, 2015, at 6:30pm. The reception is a good opportunity to meet our team and other guests in a casual and intimate environment before the exhibit’s official opening on June 13.

While this project is still on its early stages, we are encouraged by your enormous support. We intend this upcoming exhibit to show what the Nakba Museum of Memory and Hope can offer and create a groundswell of support for a permanent space in the Washington DC area.

Our inaugural exhibit, Reclaiming the Lost Future, features a comprehensive exhibition about the flight and expulsion of Palestinians in 1948, photographs of nonviolent resistance and everyday life in the West Bank and Gaza; paintings by Palestinian artists living in refugee camps; and eyewitness testimonies and interviews with Palestinian refugees that highlight their struggles, loss, and undying resilience.
