Design for Palestine
Design for Palestine
Birmingham Resistance Library x Print and Matter
Friday 3rd May 4–8pm and Saturday 4th May 1–4pm
Gallery 2
A collection of Risograph posters made during a Palestine Activation Day Workshop in November 2023. The posters are designed by individuals and groups with graphics and text in the tradition of protest posters, the workshop was facilitated by Print and Matter. They convey messages of resistance and solidarity with Palestinians within the Occupied Lands and the Diaspora during the unfolding horrors and genocide.
Palestine Activation Days were set up by a group of creatives in Birmingham who sought to activate various communities in Balsall Heath and wider Birmingham. The activations included workshops, talks, screenings, political organising and community meals.
The work done during Palestine Activation Days has led to the formations of multiple groups including Birmingham Resistance Library, a library themed around Resistance and Social and Political Histories, Presents and Futures.
