we
collect
Maison Palestine has a burgeoning library of around 1,000 works and a documentary collection comprising family and activist archives, including the Rezeq Faraj Collection and the Lorraine Guay Collection. We are currently working on cataloguing the books and indexing the archives. We anticipate the library and archives will be available to the general public for consultation in the near future.

Curation and commissioning exhibits are at the heart of our mission. Activating documentary culture and visual representation enables Maison Palestine to reclaim Palestine’s narrations amidst the Western project of eradication through a pedagogical use of living archives.
Maison Palestine’s mission brings audiences closer to an understanding and appreciation of Palestine by introducing them to its academic, social and artistic institutions.
Maison Palestine translates into French, and from Arabic and English, a range of contemporary documents relating to the history and present of Palestine in all its dimensions and all its territorial and diasporic components.
Maison Palestine sponsors Palestinian-led cultural initiatives locally and in Palestine, including social engagement activities with a focus on self representation and self-determination.
