provokes us to act.

collaborative studio. The archive will collect
work in multiple genres and back up the
vulnerable work of Palestinian artists. Guest
curators will select works from the archive to

the US and Israel/Palestine are woven
together through cultural events,
technological interventions, walking
tours, and community organizing.
