As part of the programme of activities organised in conjunction with the exhibition Listening all Night to the Rain by John Akomfrah, the museum is hosting a workshop by LetsTalkPalestine, an online channel that promotes liberation through education about Palestinian history and current issues. This session explores climate colonialism and the broader colonial frameworks that shape environmental damage in Palestine.

This encounter will allow for an examination of how occupation-driven policies and territorial practices can reshape local ecologies, drawing on activist and academic critiques that highlight issues such as the replacement of native tree species, the disruption of natural habitats, and the threats to regional wildlife. Using these cases as points of analysis, the workshop investigates how political power influences environmental governance and how ecological degradation intersects with dispossession. Participants will discuss issues relating to the stewardship, resistance and future of the Earth's biodiversity under conditions of ongoing structural violence.
