“In Memory of Tomorrow,” encompassed research and documentation of the social reality of these turbulent times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Foundation urged artists to become witnesses pertaining to the social, economic and health tragedy taking place in Palestine today. This platform displays the results of the research conducted by the commissioned artists.

Documentation of the history of disease in Palestine is scarce, although diseases like the flu, plague, cholera, typhoid, typhus, dysentery and others have perpetually ravaged Palestinian urban and rural populations through history. Such epidemics coexisted with famines, droughts, wars and locusts, leaving thousands of deaths behind them. In some cases, like the Spanish Flu of 1919, the death toll of the disease hid itself from collective memory, between the victims of the 1915–18 famine and the war against the Ottoman Empire. The current COVID-19 pandemic is leaving deep social scars and estrangement from what used to be intimate and familiar.
