Highlights from our “Tales, Dolls & Tours” exhibition in Ptuj

Interculturalism is also an act of solidarity beyond borders and nationalities.

Etaf Abdelrahman, a former social worker from Gaza, now living in Slovenia, took us on a journey of feminist resistance against patriarchy and colonization in Palestine, walking the path of activists fighting for intersectional liberation.

She recited “To My Mother” by Mahmoud Darwish, a powerful poem on exile, longing, and homeland, and showcased a beautifully embroidered dress and shawl, sharing their heritage and meaning.

Through storytelling, poetry, and tradition, Etaf reminded us that art is a tool of resistance and identity.
