"The posters are being sold as part of a book, Love is Resistance, and can be "torn out and hung on walls or taken to peaceful protests", says the curator behind the project Aya Mousawi, who describes the collection of posters as "a tribute to Palestinian resilience and a tool for global solidarity". The Iraqi-American artist Michael Rakowitz has created a poster in green, red and black, the colours of the Palestinian flag,"
"that reads: "The knot in my stomach when future generations ask me what I did to stop this." In an accompanying text, he adds: "From when I was very young, a question that came up often in Hebrew school when discussing the Shoah was how the world could have let such an atrocity happen. Half a century later, I have my answer. Free Palestine.""
Seventy-seven artists contributed posters to Love is Resistance to raise proceeds for the Ajyal Foundation for Education, which provides long-term rehabilitation and mental health support for children, with a current focus on Gaza. The posters are printed in a book and can be torn out, hung on walls, or taken to peaceful protests. Aya Mousawi curated the project and frames the collection as a tribute to Palestinian resilience and a tool for global solidarity. Michael Rakowitz, Jasleen Kaur and Massive Attack are among contributors whose works reference Palestinian colours, a mosque photograph taken on 11 July 2024, and a fused Keffiyeh-and-flame logo.
