Palestine and Protest: Journal launch and Gaza Biennale (T'karonto) closing

This closing event marks the launch of Gatherings' double issue, "Palestine and Campus Movements: Sites of Transnational Feminist Solidarities," with readings and reflections from contributors whose work spans feminist resistance, collective care, and the global campus movements demanding justice for Palestine. The Palestinian Youth Movement choir performs, and the evening features a panel discussion bringing together the issue's editors, creators from Stitched!, Living with Drones, a live journalism show that documents the realities of drone warfare in Gaza, and artists and writers from the issue. Together, these voices refuse the separation of art, scholarship, and activism.

In April 2024, artists from Gaza began to gather together under a single project to find ways to utilize art to resist this genocide. Many artists in Gaza have been working throughout this war, defying all challenges, creating works that remind us that art is essential to life and our survival as a species. A collective project has emerged into a global art event: the Gaza Biennale.

The Gaza Biennale is a collective event, a growing network, and perhaps a movement. While war has scattered and displaced our people, the biennale gathers over 40 artists on a single platform, uniting their voices. Emerging from deep roots, this Biennale extends an open invitation to local and international institutions to host and produce these exhibitions and to work with us as partners. We offer a unique opportunity to art institutions to exhibit invaluable works that reflect the need for creativity in the darkest of times.
