In response to generations-long acts of apartheid by the Israeli government against the land and citizens of Palestine — “On 7 October 2023, Hamas announced the start of what it called ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’” (Wikipedia) — the largest attack on the Zionist settler entity since its establishment in 1948. In response, the Israeli government has engaged in collective punishment toward the citizens of Palenstine equating to genocide, further disrupting the safety of citizens in the region, while both facing worldwide condemnation, and massive global solidarity movements.
studio birdhaus has begun collecting testimonies with the intention to preserve and amplify the voices and memory of citizens of SWANA and the word at large who are experiencing or bearing witness to the consequences of this violence.
This online portal invites submissions from around the world.
Maybe your testimony is
a story,
a reflection,
a word,
a song,
a prayer.
This collection will be made available to the public. Image submissions are encouraged.
