PACC Houston presented a tribute to Naji Al-Ali at MATCH, bringing the work and legacy of an iconic Palestinian cartoonist into a public Houston arts space.
A Houston tribute
The exhibition ran May 1-9, 2026. It created an opportunity for local audiences to encounter work connected to Palestinian memory, identity, and lived experience.
The presentation placed visual storytelling at the center, reflecting PACC’s commitment to exhibitions and programs that make Palestinian culture visible in Houston.
Part of a wider program
Tatreez workshops connected embroidery, Handala, cultural memory, and the commemoration of the Nakba during the exhibition period.
An enduring visual language
Naji Al-Ali’s work continues to represent resilience, memory, and the Palestinian experience. The exhibition invited visitors to consider how a visual language can remain meaningful across generations and places.
That continued relevance made the work especially suited to a cultural center focused on both preservation and public understanding.
Culture in public
Exhibitions are one part of PACC Houston’s year-round work alongside film, music, workshops, scholarship, and the Houston Palestinian Festival.
