Presented within a global context of social uncertainty, fragile historical narratives and current existential threats, this exhibition is conceived as a reflective space dedicated to the artist Taysir Batniji (born in 1966, Gaza). The survey show positions the work in dialogue with each other, featuring productions and reproductions of Batniji’s art created between 1997 and 2022. During this period, he lived mainly in France, but his life and work continued to meditate on Palestine.

While the exhibition’s title refers to a single work, No Condition Is Permanent (2014-2022), the curatorial narrative and works showcase the artist’s diverse practice including photography, painting, drawing, video, installation, and performance. The human condition is embedded in each work, reflecting on the turbulence of displacement, caused by settler violence and colonialism, and the shifting meanings of memory that disrupt familiar images. This exhibition is co-curated by Abdellah Karroum and Lina Ramadan.
