The Lost Paintings: A Prelude to Return at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in Bristol

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery presents The Lost Paintings: A Prelude to Return, a landmark exhibition featuring the work of 53 artists from Palestine and its diaspora. The exhibition travels across time and borders to reimagine the missing works of Palestinian-Lebanese artist Maroun Tomb. Bringing together today's rising artists alongside the trailblazers of Palestinian modern art, this exhibition is a collective act of resistance paired with interrogation of colonial violence and its consequences on multiple generations.
