This project was made possible in part through support from the Interlace Grant Fund, a regranting partner of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Some works created in 2025 as a resident at Bunker Projects.

This work is an ongoing record of efforts taken by a global community to stop the genocide in Gaza, which continues despite the so-called October 2025 ceasefire.

Read the June 18th 2026 report issued by the Human Rights Council which details the deliberate targeting and killing of Palestinian children, including post-October 2025 ceasefire.


This project records direct efforts like the recent flotilla attempts, and indirect efforts like the conservation of tatreez (Palestinian embroidery), historical efforts to allow Palestine their right to control their ports, and other efforts to help educate and encourage our communities to take action.
