The art project ‘GAZA, the right to live in peace’ is once again calling on artists from all over the world and from Palestine to support the condemnation of the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, which is being openly spred by news agencies, media and social networks. The horrific images have mobilised the international community to demand an end to the massacre and destruction. Both the UN and humanitarian organisations have called for a ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza's civilian population.

The recent approval by the Israeli parliament, by a very large majority, to ban the activities of the UN agency ‘UNRWA’, not only in Gaza, but also in the West Bank and Jerusalem, plus the support of the US, Germany, UK and other countries for Israel, create the conditions that give license to continue the genocide.

Artists of the world, Palestinian artists resist!
The Israeli offensive has had devastating consequences for the Palestinian population: constant orders for mass displacement and heavy bombardment have resulted in more than 42,000 deaths, of which one third are children. The artists, like their compatriots, have suffered the devastating impact of death, persecution and destruction during the Israeli occupation in this latest offensive. Their works, testimonies of identity and resistance, have been disappearing in the rubble of their homes and studios. In precarious shelters and on the move, they remain determined to recover their human and artistic identity in order to continue their work. Several Palestinian artists from Gaza participate in this project with images of their works, now destroyed, or with sketches made with improvised supports and tools in the haste of displacement and under intense Israeli bombardment and under intense Israeli bombardment.

We artists join this voice with our tool of work and expression: the image.
