In the age of digital circulation, Palestinian protest images have been subject to censorship. The medium of print has returned to combat repression, with the increased production of posters, flyers, zines, and pamphlets circulated at demonstrations, community gatherings, and university encampments. Materials of Solidarity echoes the movement’s insistence: “the more they try to silence us, the louder we will be.” The collectively assembled postcards, paired with documentation of the personal reflections of anonymous contributors, are a palimpsest of our community and its protest of the ongoing, mediatized genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Curated by Fall 2024 Student Artist-in-Residence Nadine Fattaleh, the exhibition will be on view October 3-December 6, 2024, Tuesday-Friday, 12:00-6:00 p.m. at the 20 Cooper Square, third floor gallery.
