In cooperation with University of Jaume I, UJI, in Spain, Zajel organized a photo-exhibition about the Palestinian Nakba, or Catastrophe, but also with a focus on the period between 1930's and 1940's.
The gallery aims to introduce Jaume students to a very important period of modern Palestinian history, one which preceded the 1948 establishment of Israel, or what Palestinians call Al-Nakba.  The pre-Nakba photos are in addition to those which tell the stories of hundreds of thousands of refugees forced to leave their original villages and towns in historical Palestine during the late 1940's, beginning an era of suffering and agony.
The concept of the pre-Nakpa exhibition is to show viewers how Palestinians had normal social and cultural lives in Yafa, Haifa, Jerusalem and other cities before 1948 and how their lives changed when 700.000-800.000 of them were forced to migrate and resettle in refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Gaza Strip and West Bank where they still live to this day.
Another goal of the exhibition was to highlight the suffering these people have been enduring since 1948, continuing to live in extremely serious humanitarian situation, depending on international aid that is mainly doled out through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).    This is the reality, while the International Community has failed to time and again to come up with a practical solution for their problem, and while Israel continues to deny its historical responsibility towards them and accordingly denies them the legal right of return.
The exhibition pictures were actually gathered from different resources: websites, books, and other Palestinian documents that the volunteers of the program gathered as part of the documenting and archiving efforts the program works on and tries to make available for researchers and the general public.  Sample pictures are also available online.
Students of the university and members of the public interested in refugees' issues or the Palestinian cause in the university attended the exhibition which lasted for one week.
As Palestinians commemorate the 59^th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba (Catastrophe), Mira Nabulssi, one of the organizers of the exhibition said that the photo-exhibition carries the title "Palestinian Nakba: Memories of the Lost Homeland."  The exhibition displays pictures which tell the story of the three phases that changed the lives of Palestinians forever: before, after, and during the 1948 Nakba.  The same year when Britain—the colonizing power at that time—decided to withdraw its troops from Palestine, the Jewish community declared its "independence" and Arab Armies entered Palestine to liberate it.  The result was one of the biggest waves of refugees in the history of Palestine: 700,000–800,000 Palestinians were forced to leave their towns and villages in historical Palestine and have since then lived in refugee camps.
The exhibition is a simple trial exhibition aiming to introduce students of UJI in Spain, and people of Castellon, to an important period of the Palestinian modern history, one which briefly explains the root causes of the Palestinian issue and refugees in particular.
Jana Baceva, Student in the masters program said "I think that the selection of the photos was very successful and professional because despite having an artistic value, they also communicate a very profound message that would touch the heart of anyone. The division of the exhibition into three parts functions almost as a time machine for the audience and presents three different moments and dimensions of the refugee problem. I truly believe that such an exhibition really helps to promote the Palestinian cause as well as the refugee issue because it serves as a bridge between Palestinians and the world. It brings one closer to the suffering of the Palestinian people; their pain becomes your pain. Their tragic fate makes one feel that he has a responsibility to change it. The textual aspect at the beginning of the exhibition informs one of the most important moments in recent Palestinian history while the photos demonstrate a different aspect of injustice".
