Rosalind Nashashibi’s latest exhibition transforms painting into a site of resistance, intimacy and political imagination.
18 June 2026
At a moment when images of Gaza circulate with relentless speed and devastating familiarity, Rosalind Nashashibi invites us to look differently. ‘Get Me A Stone’, on view at Artium Museoa in Vitoria-Gasteiz, gathers paintings produced between 2021 and 2026 alongside the new film Occupation of The Inner Life (2026), creating a contemplative space where personal memory and collective history converge.
Working across painting and film, Nashashibi has long explored the porous boundaries between the intimate and the political. Here, stones emerge as recurring motifs, not only as symbols of resistance but also as carriers of memory, grief, and endurance. Hands clutching stones appear throughout the exhibition, evoking gestures of defiance while grounding the works in the material realities of Palestinian life and struggle.
Rather than reproducing the spectacle of violence, Nashashibi turns to the poetic and the affective. Her paintings offer moments of stillness that resist erasure, while the accompanying film connects artistic labour with familial relationships, revealing how care, solidarity and political commitment are woven into everyday existence.
‘Get Me A Stone’ is a powerful meditation on distance, exile and belonging, affirming art’s capacity to hold space for reflection when language and representation reach their limits.
This exhibition is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Basque Country (Artium Museoa) until 1 November 2026.
