A event held at The Island on Wednesday 26th November. The event starts at 12:00.
An evocative exhibition showcasing the resurgence of Palestinian political posters as powerful works of art during the war on Gaza.
Featuring both iconic founders of Palestine’s modern art movement and a new generation of poster-makers, this collection captures the struggles for justice, resilience, and resistance in the face of human rights violations.
The exhibition showcases anti-war works by Vera Tamari, Sliman Mansour, Tayseer Barakat, and Nabil Anani, along with contemporary pieces by Hazem Harb, Khaled El Haber, and Haneen Nazzal. These bold posters speak to the destruction of Gaza and the global indifference to the rising death toll. Also featured are works from Posters for Gaza and movements like Artists Against Apartheid and Visualizing Palestine.
Explore the history of Palestinian political posters, from their golden age (1960s–1982) to today’s “subvertising” art in public spaces. The exhibition includes a research/resource table, videos, and digital poster presentations, with select works available for purchase to benefit the Palestine Red Crescent Society.
Curated by Malu Halasa, a writer, editor, and curator dedicated to amplifying voices of resistance, this exhibition reflects her. With assistance from Sara Bashiti and Valeria Berghinz.
Presented by the Bristol Palestine Film Festival.
Free and open to the public 26/11 - 13/12/2025, 12 - 6pm.
The Island Gallery, Bridewell Street, Bristol. BS1 2QD.
