THE COMMUNIST MUSEUM OF PALESTINE

^08.07.2025

Inaugurated on 8 November for Bergen Assembly 2025 – across, with, nearby, the Communist Museum of Palestine reimagines the institutional structures of caretaking, value and ownership that define the museum in its current form. Composed of donated artworks and volunteer hosts who display and care for them, the museum exists throughout the city of Bergen within domestic or communal spaces such as art galleries, bars, schools, cafés, and private homes. Together with Bergen Assembly this community ensures the artworks remain displayed and cared for, working toward the long-term goal of moving the museum to Palestine in the coming years.



The Communist Museum of Palestine دال-صفر (d-0) emerged through the d-school program of talks and workshops, in collaboration with the Oslo-based art collective TENTHAUS and Bergen Katedraleskole. Led by collaborators including Munir Fasheh, the Mandaloun and Dahaleez art collectives, Rana Anani, Rana Batrawi, Mezna Qato, Ayreen Anastas, Rene Gabri, and Peter Makhlouf, these encounters were animated by the concept of Mujaawarah مجاورة as a form of collective learning, mutual care and social action outside of the institution. Together the d-school program and museum offered a way to reimagine what art and communities of care can (un)do in the face of genocidal violence, centering questions and cultural practices of resistance and healing in solidarity with Palestine.

The principles of communal care and solidarity draws on the experience of Palestinian communities who have nourished and maintained a rich tapestry of cultural practices and ethics of neighbouring. As a living form that challenges the separation between artists, objects, and the institutional practices of caretaking that sustain them, the museum aims to delink from the cultures of perpetrating and denying the Nakba, (the Palestinian catastrophe that was started already before 1948) understood as the violent obliteration and denial of Palestinian life. It is an invitation to consider how, across various histories, geographies, and communities, the Nakba's structure of violence/denial have been imposed on a planetary scale.
