Love is Resistance sews together 77 posters for a free Palestine from creatives around the globe

"This incredible lineup of creative contributors began as a call-out to friends and colleagues of Aya's amongst her work as a cultural strategist, producer and curator for grassroots initiatives and non-profits, before it snowballed into something with a much wider remit. It was important to the book's editor to have a range of figures to contribute across disciplines. "Many of the book's contributors are Palestinian," she says, "the rest are steadfast allies.""

"Each creative donated their posters to the publication with all proceeds from the project set to go to the Ajyal Foundation, a UK-based charity supporting education and mental health for children impacted by war and displacement, currently working with young people in Gaza. In addition to these 77 commissions, the publication also encompasses three posters of drawings by a classroom of children in Gaza, that the Ajyal Foundation has worked with directly."

A lineup of creative contributors began as a call-out to Aya's friends and colleagues during her work as a cultural strategist, producer and curator for grassroots initiatives and non-profits, and expanded into a wider project. Many contributors are Palestinian and others are steadfast allies. Each creator donated posters with all proceeds designated for the Ajyal Foundation, a UK-based charity supporting education and mental health for children impacted by war and displacement in Gaza. The project comprises 77 commissions plus three posters of drawings by a Gaza classroom created as part of an educational programme for 7–12-year-olds prompted to "draw symbols of Palestine that hold meaning to them." Jordanian-Palestinian designer Tawfiq Dawi designed the collection with a cover inspired by early Palestinian-flag designs and the colour of Jaffa oranges, described as "vibrant and defiant." The dual-language layout pairs Tawfiq's Kahaza Arabic typeface, influenced by vintage Egyptian film posters, with a cursive Latin type for English sections.
