We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian
people

In these grim times of grief, we come together to find strategies for coping, for uniting, and for raising our voices in enduring struggles towards liberation.

It’s hard to find words these days. Still, we try.

An art organization does not exist in isolation, but is intricately connected to the world it inhabits. In recent days, we have been deeply troubled as we’ve witnessed the specter of death, the shattering of lives, and the devastation affecting Israeli and Palestinian lives.  

The unfolding violence in and around Gaza represents a clear violation of international law, a stark affront to our shared humanity. Countless civilians, including children, are being displaced and subjected to relentless bombardment. In this solemn moment, we stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are being ignored on the international stage. 

As an art organization we serve as a hub for reflection, engagement, and the sharing of knowledge and stories. That’s why we wish to share these links with you, so you can join us in making a gesture of solidarity. 

In these grim times of grief, we come together to find strategies for coping, for uniting, and for raising our voices in enduring struggles towards liberation.

Join us at the manifestation on Sunday 22 October leaving from Schuman (Brussels, Belgium) at 14:00.
