The act of looking is never neutral. What we choose to see, and what we avert our eyes from, says something about us. The exhibition Before Our Eyes explores how ten (inter)national artists question and navigate this responsibility. Their work responds to the political events of our time, with particular attention to the genocidal violence in Palestine, through images that take a stand or call for reflection. For how can artists address the violence? Not by simply showing it again, but by carefully choosing what to make visible—and what to withhold.

With works by Marianne Berenhaut, Ryan Cullen, Marlene Dumas, Hamishi Farah, Sirah Foighel Brutmann & Eitan Efrat, Rabih Mroué, Rosalind Nashashibi, Mohammed Sami, Luc Tuymans and Angharad Williams.
