Experience the Contemporary Art Exhibition While We Count Our Earthquakes at Kunsthal Extra City

This solo exhibition presents the work of Palestinian-Danish artist Larissa Sansour, exploring themes of grief, collective memory, and generational trauma through a science-fiction lens. The works interweave moving image, sculpture, and operatic elements to reimagine the history and future of a nation facing the threat of extinction.

While We Count Our Earthquakes is the first solo exhibition in Belgium by internationally acclaimed artist Larissa Sansour. Curated by Joachim Naudts, the show delves into complex studies of grief, memory, and generational trauma, drawing from the Palestinian experience and the persistent global threat of environmental collapse. Through her signature use of speculative narratives and science-fiction methodologies, Sansour creates a space where the past, present, and potential futures converge, inviting viewers to engage with critical geopolitical narratives in a deeply personal and artistic way. The exhibition features a multidisciplinary approach, blending sculptural installations with moving image works, opera, and film. By employing these diverse forms, Sansour attempts to reimagine the history of her homeland—a territory often depicted as being on the verge of annihilation. The works in this exhibition provide a profound reflection on survival and the endurance of culture in the face of ongoing hardship, transforming historical and contemporary concerns into powerful, visually striking, and intellectually engaging installations.
