Few images survived of the exhibitions mounted in the Arab Orthodox Union Club and the YMCA before 1944, but this photograph indicates that, as early as the 1940s, spaces used for exhibiting in Jerusalem were already equipped with modern partitions for mounting artworks—partitions that were most likely used to create similar open-plan arrangements with a navigation system delineated by rows of chairs. In addition to art exhibitions of local painters, craftspeople, and calligraphers, these spaces hosted lecture series by Palestine’s leading cultural figures of the period, as well as guest lecturers from neighboring countries such as Egypt and Lebanon.
