The realisation of ‘Palestine c/o Venice’ as a ‘collateral event’ at the 53rd Venice Biennale confounded attempts to isolate modern Palestinian culture from the international community. Following a brief introduction to the history of Palestine and the Venice Biennale, the article gives an account of the aesthetic and conceptual concerns of the artists in ‘Palestine c/o Venice’, addressing both Palestinian and international audiences. The unexplained cancellation of stazione, Emily Jacir's contribution to the event, is discussed in relation to the widespread failure to discriminate between ‘Arab’ and ‘Islam’, and to the less well‐publicised Zionist policies of discrediting or intimidating intellectuals, scholars and journalists who deviate from the Israeli narrative which seeks to bury evidence of Palestine's modernity and sophistication
