3. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Javiera Manzi, exhibition curator:
"This exhibition, we hope for it to be a gesture of deep solidarity, of deep tenderness and beauty. Because there is nothing more beautiful than this resistance, this creativity and this united effort to say from here, from Chile, no more genocide, no more to this policy of extermination".
4. Various of poster being glued to display
5. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Pablo Abufom, exhibition curator:
“Chile has a prominent role in Latin America, Chile is recognized as a democracy, it is part of the OECD, that is to say, it has an international image that can have an international effect. Therefore, the fact that this exhibition is being held in Chile, that it reflects the history of struggle of the Palestinian people, of international solidarity, is also a political signal to the world that from Chile we are saying enough of genocide. Let’s recover the tradition of international solidarity with Palestine and let’s convert it into concrete measures."
6. Various of fabric posters
7. Banner with the name of exhibition: (Spanish) From all the rivers to all the seas of the world
8. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Javiera Manzi, exhibition curator:
"Because it is not an exhibition that comes after something, it is an exhibition that is taking place while this genocide is happening every day. So we don’t want it to be a place where you go to see the pieces from a distance, rather they should be viewed as tools for the coming mobilization."

STORYLINE:
An exhibition showcasing artworks exploring the history of the Palestinian territories opened at the National Archives of Chile on Wednesday.
The exhibition includes 130 works of art, including photographs, embroidery, murals, album covers and posters, as well as historical documents.
Watermelons feature prominently in the exhibition.
The watermelon shares the colours of the Palestinian flag and became a symbol of resistance after the flag symbol was banned.
Chile is home to the largest Palestinian community outside the Middle East.
For curator Javiera Manzi, the show is not just about history, it is about the present.
"It is an exhibition that is taking place while this genocide is happening every day. So we don’t want it to be a place where you go to see the artworks from a distance, rather they should be viewed as tools for the coming mobilization."
