In That Same Hour is an exhibition unfolding across multiple buildings at the Darat al Funun – The Khalid Shoman Foundation and remaining on view until 31 May 2026. Emerging from a period marked by sustained violence, displacement, and erasure, the exhibition confronts the difficulty of accounting for loss when its scale overwhelms language, archives, and conventional forms of witnessing.
Bringing together nineteen artists and collectives from Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, South Africa, Spain, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Algeria, the exhibition responds to the present moment through diverse positions and practices. It draws energy from the global networks of solidarity that have coalesced around Gaza in recent years, while resisting singular narratives or fixed geographies. Instead, the works trace shifting relations between memory and disappearance, documentation and rupture, presence and endurance.
Across film, installation, painting, collage, photography, and research-based practices, the exhibition maps a fragmented yet interconnected terrain. Works move between the earthly and the atmospheric, the archival and the speculative, holding space for grief while insisting on persistence. Together, they propose multiple ways of seeing and remembering amid ongoing destruction, asking how images, objects, and collective practices might register what continues to be undone.
Participating artists include Bady Dalloul, Elias Kurdy, Elo Vega and Rogelio López Cuenca, Hazem Harb, Jayce Salloum, Lobna Al Sane and Mais Fareed, Mahmoud Alhaj, Mahmoud Massad, Nadine Fattaleh, Nathalie Frankowski and Cruz Garcia (WAI Architecture Think Tank), Paloma Polo, Public Works Studio, Rachid Koraïchi, Raed Ibrahim, Salama Younes (Yura Collective), Wesam Al Asali (IWLab), Yara Sharif and Nasser Golzari (Architects for Gaza), and Zara Julius, alongside a work by the late Jordanian artist Adnan Yahya.
The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive public programme of talks, screenings, conversations, and workshops with participating artists and invited practitioners. These activities extend the exhibition’s questions beyond the gallery, continuing a two-year programme at Darat al Funun developed in response to the genocide in Gaza and, more recently, the war in Lebanon.
Location: Darat al Funun-The Khalid Shoman Foundation, Amman, Jordan.
Date: 18 November 2025 until 31 May 2026
