- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 pm – Sun, 08 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This exhibition presents stories and illustrations created through psychosocial work with Palestinian children in Bethlehem. The installation explores how art and storytelling support children living under conflict. Visitors are invited to reflect on resilience, rights, and the emotional worlds of young people growing up amid violence.

?--------------

Children and adolescents in Palestine are facing an escalating mental-health crisis due to exposure to violence, displacement, and long-term structural oppression. The psychosocial impacts—trauma symptoms, chronic stress, disrupted development, and intergenerational transmission of distress—are now widely documented. Yet children’s own voices, coping strategies, and modes of resilience remain under-represented in mainstream discourse.

This exhibition builds on the work of Anar, a community-based organisation in Bethlehem that strengthens the psychological well-being and resilience of children affected by conflict. Anar uses participatory, creative, and rights-based approaches to help children’s express emotions, process fear, and build pathways toward safety and hope.

Exhibition overview: 

This  book-based art exhibition highlights children’s creative expression as a form of psychosocial support. It presents selected stories and illustrations from Anar’s forthcoming book, offering an intimate window into the inner worlds of Palestinian children, their fears, dreams, and coping mechanisms.

The exhibition aims to situate art within a broader mental-health and human-rights framework. It presents children’s works alongside contextual information about psychosocial support in Palestine, inviting festival visitors to reflect on the ways in which creativity functions as a lifeline for children living under chronic threat.
