A event held at Centrespace Gallery on Saturday 4th May. The event starts at 10:00.
FREE ALL WEEKEND
FRIDAY 3RD PREVIEW 6PM-9PM, talks 7pm-8.30pm info below
Sat 4th - Mon 6th 10AM-5PM, talk info below
Sun 5th ACCESSIBLE OPENING: masked, 50% capacity, hand sanitizer, access ramp, toilet & low volume.
The artworks and letters at this exhibition have been produced by people around the world to express their ongoing distress regarding the impact of the Israeli state on Palestinian children. The exhibition aims to counter dehumanising narratives about Palestinians, showing solidarity by attending to the names, stories, experiences, dreams, and struggles of Palestinian children and the actions of the Western-backed Israeli state which are so violently shaping their lives. The exhibition is holding space for people to come and be with the issue and, if they'd like to, express their feelings about it through art and writing.
There will be:
- a place for visitors to draw, write and hang their own images, letters and notes, available throughout the weekend
- an audio of each person reading their letter playing continuously, and QR codes for each letter if you prefer to listen on headphones
- speakers on Palestine throughout the weekend:
