Palestinian artist Dima Srouji's exhibition *A Cosmogram of Holy Views* opens at London's Ab Anbar Gallery, presenting a decade of research into the built heritage of Palestinian Christians. The show juxtaposes European Renaissance depictions of the Holy Land with the reality of life under Israeli occupation, using media such as tinted glass collages, blown glass, carved stone, and mother-of-pearl objects. Works like *Return to Nazareth* overlay biblical scenes with personal childhood memories, while *Phantom Votives* offers wax votive forms as a response to the destruction in Gaza.
This exhibition matters because it challenges Western mythologies of the Holy Land by centering Palestinian Christian heritage and lived experience, which Srouji describes as little-studied and at risk amid ongoing conflict. By blending sacred imagery with contemporary trauma, the show asserts the importance of preserving cultural heritage and bearing witness to erasure, making a powerful statement about art's role in memory and resistance.
