Art Is (Not) For Sale / Free Palestine!
In a time of war, of genocide, of gendercide, art (if it exists) is for sale. In a time of resistance, of struggle, of freedom, art (which exists) is not for sale. In a time of censorship, art (which is defiant) is not for sale. In a time of indifference, art (if it can be called “art”) is for sale. In a time when words fail us, art (which came before words) is not for sale. In a time when all we have is each other, art (which is and is not for sale) is active solidarity.
FAC is organising a solidarity art sale to raise funds for Queers in Palestine @queersinpalestine and the Dismantle Damon campaign @dismantle_damon. The sale will open on Thursday 28 November and run until Sunday 1 December.
