While the war in Gaza continues, other people on social networks mobilize in a new form of non -violent protest: the Palestinian art and culture birthday party.
Bella Hadid is a figure that has been associated with this artistic protest movement. The model, whose father is Palestinian, actively participated in the creation of Palestinian art, along Palestinian artists.
A recent example of this is the short film “Gaza is calling”, through the Canadian-Interpreter Mustafa Significant. The film presents Hadid, MC Abul and the actress and director of Palestine HiM Abbas. As Salomon Pace-McCarrick wrote it for Dazed, “The video tells a visceral story of trauma of existing violence in Palestine. “
Keffiyeh is a classic Chal of the Middle East, which is related to the other Palestinian people largely thanks to the political leader Yasser Arafat, who followed a Keffiyeh white and white fish style as his emblematic gaze in the 1960s. As explained through Hannah Jackson fashion in the British vogue, “Palestine Network”.
He told Newsweek that: “I think thanks to our art, we can transmit this message worldwide. “
“I the history of the Palestinian people. I am a story,” he said.
The existing clash between Israel and Hamas began on October 7 of last year, when Hamas introduced an attack of giant scale opposite to Israel, in which around another 1,200 people were killed and about 251 were taken as hostages. Israel retaliates, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to eliminate Hamas.
Since the October 7 attack, Israeli artists have dedicated themselves to the bureaucracy of artistic expression so as not to forget the dead and treat trauma. This has included professional and amateur artists who create works to document and respond to atrocities, adding murals, facilities and documentary films.
An organization to which the importance of art clash is very clear is the child of charity. Founded in 1993 in the middle of the Bosnian War, War Child used art as a means to collect funds, raise awareness and explore treatment for shock victims.
Helen Pattison, CEO of War Child UK, told Newsweek that: “Art is an incredibly vital conflict. It is a significant form of expression. ” Since its creation, War Child has worked with David Bowie, Oasis and Sinead O’Connor to attend the budget for collecting young people affected through the conflict.
Pattison explained that “in the horror of war, words can fail us. This is where art intervenes to provide a sense of expression and meaning, where other people may feel not able to speak or lack voice. ” The leader of War Child’s albums, Rich Clark has echoed this feeling: “Music has been a vehicle for protest. It has been a vehicle to articulate and challenge the conventions with which you do not agree.
Taterez, a form of online adoption as a birthday party is Tatrez, a classic embroidery form. Lina Barakawi uses Tatrez to explore her Palestinian heritage and culture. “Tatrez’s practice is my direct link with Palestine,” he told Newsweek. “It’s bigger than me, but it can also be me. “
The fashion brand, Trash Garments, has arisen with a similar mission: a Palestinian fashion label ready to use that aims at difficult political cases through statements of joy and anticolonialism thanks to the design statements. The garbage garments have had celebrities such as the former star of the adult film Mia Khalifa, a defender of the Palestinian people, design their garments.

“Each design selection, whether zippers, cuts or impressions, brings a story, contributing to the history or global global that we manufacture with the collection,” they added.
Palestinian art and culture stories proliferate online. More and more, social media platforms such as Tiktok and Instagram as an essential destination for other young people while seeking to teach themselves about politics and culture. As Sabia Haque has argued in a check for the site of intersection of feminist arts and culture, polyesterzine, “the advent of the Internet and social networks lead other people to place more about the global around them, through the passage of the systems established through resources of classical media and media. “
