ORGANISE AN EVENT
Organise an event at your local theatre, university or community group, to spread the words of Palestinian artists, educate and fundraise.
SPREAD THE WORDS
OF ARTISTS
Palestinian artists have made their testimonies, texts and poetry available to read around the world. Share their words at events, meetings, and protests and use storytelling to mobile globally.
ORGANISE A
FUNDRAISING EVENT
When The Freedom Theatre was raided and destroyed in December, groups worldwide organised fundraising events so that the venue could replace its equipment. Both for The Freedom Theatre and other cultural venues this financial support is crucial as there is no way otherwise to build back after attacks, it also helps inform audiences what has happened.

​BUILD DIGITAL COLLABORATION
THEATRE FOR EVERYBODY in Gaza and THEATRE AZ in London began a long-term collaboration in 2007 to allow artists to travel to both places. At the time, Israel banned their blockade of Gaza, restricting all movement. Instead, they began a digital collaboration between artists and audiences in both places. This continued during Israel's genocide in Gaza in the form of Messages From Gaza.
