To break, break, break, break all the walls: a bibliographic exhibition on Palestine
(November-December 2025)
The Palestinian people face one of the most critical crossroads in their contemporary history. After undergoing a radical geopolitical transformation in the 20th century (with the ethnic cleansing of 1947-1948), they now face the threat of mass forced displacement, as well as being the victims of a military campaign involving potential war crimes and genocide, according to the International Court of Justice. This exhibition, organized by Violeta Meléndrez Doval, a student in the Faculty of Philology, aims to offer a comprehensive view of this conflict from a socio-historical perspective and its reflection in the current literary landscape.
