29. september – 2.oktober 2025, Ljubljana
Izrael že skoraj dve leti v Gazi izvaja genocid. Ubitih je bilo že več kot 64.000 ljudi, na stotine
ljudi je umrlo od lakote – lakote, ki je posledica sistematičnega in načrtnega stradanja
s strani Izraela. Gaza je v celoti porušena, cele družine so izbrisane, prihodnje generacije
uničene. Letošnjo Kulturno ambasado Palestine, ki bo v letu 2025 potekala že trinajstič, posvečamo
Gazi, njenim prebivalcem in prebivalkam, tistim, ki jih ni več, in tistim, ki te nezamisljive grozote trpijo – ob tem pa še vedno pišejo, rišejo, pojejo in ustvarjajo.
V solidarnosti ne bomo ostali tiho.

Otvoritev razstave Zgodba o Gazi ostaja
Razstava prikazuje dela sedemindvajsetih palestinskih umetnikov in umetnic iz Gaze.
Njihova dela slavijo vztrajnost in ustvarjalnost Gaze ter kažejo, da so njeni ljudje in njihove
zgodbe preživeli desetletja izraelske okupacije in vojaških napadov.
Razstavo bomo otvorili z branjem palestinske poezije v izvedbi pesnika Mohameda Abdula
Munema ter igralke in pisateljice Drage Potočnjak. Sledila bo manjša pogostitev.

Pogovor z dr. Tomom Potokarjem
Tom Potokar je plastični kirurg, strokovnjak za opekline in vojno medicino. Seznam držav, v
katerih je deloval kot vojni kirurg je seznam tragedij človeštva. Največkrat pa je bil v Gazi,
kar šestnajstkrat, nazadnje letos spomladi. Pravi, da še nikdar ni bilo huje.
Z gostom se bo pogovarjal novinar Aljaž Vrabec. Dogodek bo potekal v angleščini, na voljo
bo simultano prevajanje v slovenščino.

Cultural Embassy of Palestine 2025
29 September – 2 October 2025, Ljubljana
Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza for almost two years now. More than 64,000
people have been killed, and hundreds have died of starvation – starvation deliberately and
systematically caused by Israel. Gaza has been completely destroyed, entire families wiped
out, future generations annihilated. This year’s thirteenth edition of the Cultural Embassy of Palestine is dedicated to Gaza, its people, those who are no longer with us, and those who suffer these unthinkable horrors – yet still write, draw, sing, and create.
In solidarity, we will not remain silent.
Monday, September 29, 2025, 6 p.m.
Atrium of the ZRC, Novi trg 2, Ljubljana
Opening of the exhibition Gaza Remains the Story
The exhibition features works by twenty-seven Palestinian artists from Gaza. Their works celebrate
the resilience and creativity of Gaza and show that its people and their stories have
survived decades of Israeli occupation and military attacks.
The exhibition will open with a reading of Palestinian poetry by the poet Mohamed Abdul
Munem and the actress and writer Draga Potočnjak.
This will be followed by a light refreshment.

Dr. Potokar will be in conversation with the journalist Aljaž Vrabec. The event will be held in
English, with the simultaneous translation into Slovenian available. Free ticket.
