Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s “If only this mountain between us could be ground to dust” is the artists’ first exhibition in a major US museum, and the first Palestinian exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago. “It is hard to put in words what we experienced while being there and how powerfully Palestinian voices were being amplified and empowered,” writes Malak Shalabi.

ApartheidIsrael has been exposed for all to see. Credible human rights organizations have investigated and reported on the crimes against humanity that Israel has committed to devastate Palestine and Palestinians for decades.
