Come and visit In the shade of the sun, open Tuesday to Sunday 11-6pm
👾🎥🍃 In the shade of the sun is a group exhibition by an exciting new generation of Palestinian artists that contemplates the relationship between politics and aesthetics.
Working across mediums that include film, installation, music and gaming, In the shade of the sun brings together artists that are forging a new language to think about and with Palestine.
The exhibition comprises new commissions by artists Mona Benyamin (.beniamyn), Xaytun Ennasr () and Dina Mimi (). Makimakkuk () has been denied a visa to enter the UK and will not be able to debut her commission for the exhibition In the shade of the sun. We are considering our next steps in light of this deeply disappointing development.
🌅This group of artists is brought together by Bilna'es (in the negative) (), an adisciplinary platform that seeks to find new models for artists to redistribute resources and support one another in the production and circulation of work. Independent researcher and curator Adam HajYahya () has been specially invited by Bilna'es to co-curate the exhibition's accompanying public programme.
The exhibition is generously supported by Arts Council England (), Bagri Foundation () and Henry Moore Foundation ().

On Saturday a dear member of The Mosaic Rooms family, Dia Batal, left us too soon. Dia was a beloved friend, collaborator, and artist and will be deeply missed by all. She was an immensely talented, lyrical artist whose poetic work evoked the multitudes of loss, longing and belonging. Alongside her own practice she remained dedicated to encouraging all ages to experience the joy of creativity, the Arabic language, and the wonder of poetry. She contributed so much to our creative learning programme over the last decade, the traces of which remain and will grow on. Her artwork hangs in our bookshop, her benches offer spaces to gather and reflect in our garden and gallery, and we will carry her on proudly in our work and hearts.

🔍 Taking Germany, the UK, and the US as study cases, the conversation will lay out how large contemporary art institutions have been reproducing state politics of silencing, erasure, and illiberalism when it comes to anti-colonial Palestine organising, black radical traditions, and proletarian struggles, and propose thinking lines through which we can strategise as cultural workers in navigating these violent patterns.

As we watch the ongoing bombing and killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the indiscriminate destruction of its buildings and infrastructure by the Israeli army, we cannot stand by in silence. The violence on the Palestinians in Gaza is unconscionable, inhumane, and illegal. We therefore urge you to consider the shared values of justice, equality and peace which we all cherish, as colleagues and partner cultural institutions in the UK and abroad, and to translate them into meaningful action.
In 2021, we put out a call for solidarity with Palestine to cultural organisations, artists, and writers. As part of this, we proposed a set of actions in support of the Palestinian struggle for life, freedom and dignity. We have now updated these and once again urge you to use your platforms, networks, influence, and expertise to raise awareness and contribute to the cause of justice and peace in Palestine. Silence is complicity and decolonisation is only possble through political, economic and cultural action. As we bear witness to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, we implore you to use your collective power to advocate for an immediate cessation of violence and to support the cause of freedom and self-determination for the Palestinian people.
– Learn: read and share resources on Palestine. For example: Palestinian Centre for Human Rights Gaza (PCHR Gaza), Al Haq Palestinian human rights organisation based in Ramallah, Adalah legal centre for Arab minority rights in Israel, Diakonia International Humanitarian Law Centre.
– Refuse: funding from the Israeli government and from private funders who support its illegal occupation.
– Language: use terms which make visible the Palestinian experience, including Palestine, occupation, dispossession, ethnic cleansing, genocide, settler colonialism, and apartheid.
– Lobby your MP or local representatives to pressure and end their military and political support with Israel until it adheres to international law. Here is a format letter from MAP.
– Open: your programme and your collection to artists, collectives, initiatives, and galleries who are led by non-mainstream or radical voices, including artists from Palestine, and fund and support their participation.
– Solidarity: share this letter and your public statement (personal and institutional) with your networks; if you are an artist, ask the institutions who hold your work or with whom you work to support it, and share it with your institution’s audiences as widely as possible.
– Write: cover work by marginalised or radical voices, including Palestinian ones.
-Donate: support Medical Aid for Palestinian’s Emergency Appeal for Gaza
Support this call: email [email protected], confirming your name, title and organisation if applicable

📣 We are pleased to announce our new public programme!
Independent researcher and curator Adam HajYahia has been specially invited by Bilna’es to co-curate the public programme running in tandem with the exhibition In the shade of the sun. 🌅
He writes:
"The public programming for 'In the shade of the sun' builds on what Bilna’es’ exhibition conception already proposes. Methodologically, we need to radically rethink the formulations within which cultural and artistic work is produced, circulated, and consumed. ..
Bilna’es is the Arabic word for ‘in the negative’. The term evokes a politics of being and producing from within the moment of catastrophe, forging from beyond it, the multitude of possibilities across the impossible. This public programme borrows from this methodology to consider the potentialities that could materialise in the cracks of the crises of the present."

Join STUART artist and publisher Rose Nordin to explore the possibilities of collective play and imagination to identify obstacles and imagine other ways to around them.
🖍️ Learn how to design simple stamps for printing by hand, and embark on a storytelling journey together. Collectively, we will make our own newspaper which will be placed in The Mosaic Rooms Bookshop to inspire others.
This workshop takes inspiration from Jara van Teeffelen’s How to Regain Freedom (Durable Discussions, 2022), to learn how we can create ‘design tools’ from everyday life and limitations that spark playful dreaming and offer alternative perspectives. These prompts invite us to think with imagination about our surroundings and to find new ways to express our ideas.
🌱 Rose Nordin activates Tools for Solidarity; an interactive play space co-designed by RESOLVE Collective and children from Earl’s Court Youth Club and three school groups at the A.M. Qattan Foundation in Ramallah, Palestine.
🎨 This workshop will be developed into a lesson plan, a self-guided activity for children and families to use in The Mosaic Rooms garden and beyond.
All materials will be provided. Suitable for age 4-11. Parents or carers must accompany their children.

✨How can joy be a tool for reflection and solidarity? 👉🏼Meet the brilliant RESOLVE Collective (@resolvecollective) and some of the young people in London and Ramallah who made Tools for Solidarity possible, in this wonderful short film by Ashley Alcaide which shows us the project from co-design workshops with children, to the final installation itself in the garden of The Mosaic Rooms. 🌟Akil Scafe-Smith gives us an insight into how emotion sits central in the design process: “We were keen for the installation to reflect not only the experiences of the young people we worked with but also the joy and excitement that came with every process and every workshop.” 🎬We hope that this short film brings you some joy today. It certainly makes us smile :) 🗓Tools for Solidarity is open Tuesday - Sunday, 11-6 at The Mosaic Rooms. Co-designed with children, suitable for everyone. 👀Link to watch full film on our website. Film is approximately 4 minutes long and includes captions.

Discussion: Books and Agents
Discover how America used publishing for political agitation in the Cold War through the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) and Franklin Book Programs, and how anti colonial cultural networks including the Afro-Asian Writers Association were formed. This event brings together three speakers, Nida Ghouse, Esmaeil Haddadian-Moghaddam and Elizabeth M. Holt who are researching archives and figures of the CCF, the Franklin Book Programs and Lotus magazine. They will reflect on the influence and decline of these transnational networks of publishing and translating. The discussion is moderated by Fehras Publishing Practices.
*Always already political
Writers and poets Quinn Latimer and Sophie Collins join curators Hana Noorali and Lynton Talbot to discuss the politics of language in poetry and the visual arts. They take Lisa Robertson’s provocation that our speech is “always already political”, taken from her untitled essay of 2012, in NILLING: Prose essays on noise, pornography, the codex, melancholy, Lucretius, folds, cities and related aporias as a starting point to consider poetry as a means of resistance to social and political domination in our current moment. The conversation and readings will consider ideas of the vernacular and translation in relation to poetry, distribution, publishing and exhibition practices.

Panel Discussion | Palestine Today: Between Apartheid and Hope
A disastrous war has again just passed over a besieged Gaza – the fourth since 2008-9. As Jewish Israeli settlers expropriate more Palestinian land in the West Bank, Palestinian families are threatened with expulsion in East Jerusalem. From settler intimidation in Hebron and Sheikh Jarrah to lynch mobs in Lydd and Haifa, the signs of Israel’s violent occupation are visible everywhere. But there are also signs of hope. Voices of protest and global acts of solidarity abound. Alongside calls to block weapons sales to Israel, there are ongoing international legal investigations into Israel’s crimes. Will global public opinion finally tip the balance against Israel’s apartheid regime? Is justice possible? Veteran Haaretz reporter Amira Hass and Director of Al-Mezan Center for Human Rights in Gaza Issam Younis join Bashir Abu-Manneh to discuss Israel’s apartheid wars, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and the re-emergence of Palestinian popular resistance.

Two-thirds of today’s British Pakistani diaspora trace their origins back to Mirpur in Azad Kashmir, a district that saw mass displacement and migration when it was submerged by the waters of a dam built after Partition.

She paints a vivid snapshot of contemporary British Asian life and investigates the complex shifts experienced by different generations within migrant communities.
