MADSTUN is hosting the Gaza artist Jinan Elaila as artist in residence from 15 july 2025 . Her artwork is largely destroyed by bombs, but will be presented as links to Instagram and possibly prints that can be bought digitally.

8 september she writes : Currently, I am in Gaza City and 11 other families of my relatives live in the same house. They were displaced from the Abu Iskandar area due to the bombing and the army’s advance there. We are now preparing, we have packed our bags and things and are waiting at zero point in case there is an imminent invasion of my area to be displaced to another place, but no one knows where it will go. The situation here is tense. We do not know what will happen next. There are groups of people who went south and then returned due to the overcrowding and high prices. However, if the military vehicles really advance, no one will stay here. The situation will be very dangerous and deadly. We will be forced to leave.

Today 9 september Benjamin Netanyahu orders everyone to leave Gaza city, but no one knows where to go.
