CONTRIBUTING TO EMERGENCY AID ACTIONS

A collaboration between Postcards for Palestine and Arts of the Working Class.

    is the founder of the artist-led initiative Postcards for Palestine. The project is a collective call to action made up of over 1000 original postcard-sized artworks contributed by hundreds of artists from over 40 countries around the world. PfP was founded in October 2023 by artist Peter Watkins as a direct response to the devastating humanitarian crisis that continues to unfold in Gaza and the West Bank today.

We are delighted to announce that Postcards for Palestine (PfP) has teamed up with Arts of the Working Class (AWC) to bring our original postcard artworks to Venice during the forthcoming 60th Venice Biennale. PfP’s international scope has always been a core value, as we encourage a multiplicity of voices to come forth in solidarity. This collaboration with AWC embraces an expanded platform and allows our artist-led initiative to be present in Venice and in Berlin. At the Laguna, the postcards will be available at the front desk of the South West Bank: Landworks, Collective Action and Sound exhibition, organised by Artists + Allies x Hebron.

Since starting the Postcards for Palestine project in October 2023, we have aimed to do more than simply raise funds. We believe in the power of our collective voice as artists to create a force greater than anything we could achieve individually. Beyond the immediate financial support, Postcards for Palestine seeks to bring the story of the Palestinian struggle to a global audience, foster the humanization of ordinary Palestinians, and create person-to-person dialogues inside and beyond Palestine. Postcards for Palestine also seek to unite artists' networks in solidarity. This collaboration allows us to extend our initiative into a new chapter. 

Original postcard-sized artworks from our open call will be available for of 20,00 (EUR) during the Biennale, with all proceeds being donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians and Doctors without Borders.
