Presentation of the TBA21 publication “Palestine is everywhere”
7 May 2026 | 15:00 – 16:30
In this time of unending war, how do we better listen to genocide?
Join us for the launch of Palestine is everywhere, a contributor-led anthology bringing together testimony, poetry, essays, and artworks from Gaza and beyond, co-published by TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Silver Press, and the87Press, and edited by Skye Arundhati Thomas, Edwin Nasr, and Gloria Habsburg.
The volume gathers contributions by writers, thinkers, artists, and poets to map the global resonance and amplify the actuality of the Palestinian struggle for liberation. Framed by Nasser Abourahme’s incisive assertion that “Palestine is everywhere because it names a political subject of radical universal emancipation,” the book provides time and space for sustained reflections on resistance, solidarity, and the right to self-determination amid a world-historical conjuncture marked by loss. The book is complemented by a digital platform hosting visual, audio, and multimedia works, which will be expanded in 2026 with new commissions by TBA21 in support of artists.
Editor Skye Arundhati Thomas will be in conversation with plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, who has been operating on the frontlines in Gaza since the beginning of the genocide in 2023, and now in Beirut; artist and Eartshot founder Lawrence Abu Hamdan, whose sonic investigations confront corporate, state, and environmental injustice through forensic analysis of sound.
Together, we will explore how to witness when memory is under attack, and how this is a form of accountability and resistance.
