Recognizing that art and culture are weapons in the struggle for a liberated Palestine, we called on all visual artists, cultural workers, painters, illustrators, and designers to contribute work that commemorates and contributes to the Palestinian struggle for liberation. RESISTANCE/LIBERATION: Art for Palestine features artworks that uplift the resistance, resilience, and heroism of the Palestinian people. The works displayed have been submitted by artists from around the world, demonstrating that the struggle for Palestinian liberation permeates globally. This exhibit will be on display for the duration of the conference and then will transform into a traveling exhibition available to be exhibited around the country. As artists and organizers, we understand the deep history of art and culture in movements and we continue the tradition of resistance art as a necessary component of our liberation struggle.

In addition to the art exhibit, and workshops dedicated to the role of cultural resistance in the struggle for Palestinian liberation, we are pleased to present two nights of Palestinian and Arabic music which honors Palestine’s rich folkloric history and tradition.
