Workshop: Artists For Palestine

Free! No Registration Required

Don't Forget to Count Your Blessings artist Christina Hajjar created this image (Mojākara 3) as a reflection on defiant persistence and how fruit-bearing tress represent vitality, sensuality, and abundance.  Intrinsically tied by culture and geography connecting mountains to the sea, the trees and people of Palestine and Lebanon continue to suffer attacks.

Gallery 101 is marking the closing of Christina's exhibition by hosting a workshop by Artists for Palestine to discuss boycotts, divestments, and sanctions as strategies to play an effective role in the global movement of justice for Palestinian people. Bring your questions about BDS and PACBI (Palestinian Academic Cultural Boycott of Israel), a boycott campaign highly relevant to scholars and artists. This workshop may be useful to individuals, artists, activists, cultural workers, as well as those shaping and pressuring institutional change. Snacks will be provided.

Artists4Palestine is a collective of artists and cultural workers dedicated to supporting the call for a cultural boycott of Israel until it complies with international law. We also work with artists and institutions to stand in principled solidarity with Palestine.

The workshop will be led by Rana Nazzal Hamadeh: a Palestinian artist based on unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin land. Her photography, film, and installation works look at issues related to memory, space, land, and movement, offering interventions rooted in a decolonial framework. She is a founding member of Artists4Palestine.

Note: Saturday is also a Mask Day for this exhibition. 

Masks will be required for all in the gallery spaces, but can be removed when seated in the back workshop space.
Free KN95 masks are available at the front of the gallery.
