Gaza at the Venice Biennale: Where language falls short, threads take over

A journalist and curator co-commissioned the Gaza Genocide Tapestry, featuring 100 embroidered panels created by Palestinian women in Gaza, the West Bank, and refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan, which will be exhibited at the Venice Biennale starting May 9 under the title "Gaza – No Words – See The Exhibit." The project uses traditional Palestinian tatreez embroidery—each panel composed of 55,000 stitches—to document Gaza's destruction in real time, with the curator arguing that language proves inadequate to convey the scale of devastation and that needle and thread offer an alternative form of testimony and resistance to erasure.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul declared the three countries’ move to be "inappropriate", saying: "We have to talk with Israel about the critical issues… that has to be done in a critical, constructive dialogue with Israel.
