2/17 - 2/22 (in person Cambridge MA) The Phoenix of Gaza XR @ MIT thru Feb 21 + Symposium Feb 21-22 (


The Phoenix of Gaza XR is coming to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Join us for this powerful VR exhibit from February 17-21 organized by MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning, and co sponsored by Harvard Divinity School's Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative, connecting everyday acts of resistance with longer-term world-building and freedom dreaming.

Our project transports viewers beyond the blockade and into Gaza’s vibrant life, culture, and resilience.

Through immersive 360-degree footage, experience Gaza’s historic landmarks, cultural traditions, bustling streets, and daily life—moments that now serve as a cultural archive and historical preservation.
