Sumud Exhibition

“Sumud” (صمود‎‎) will be a multidisciplinary exhibition hosting upwards of ten visual artists, four performers and a few vendors. The event will be a fundraiser for a Palestinian charity, UNRWA. While we aim to host as many Palestinian artists as possible to uplift their creative voices, the exhibition will also be open to artists from the Middle East. We will be letting artists sell prints and merchandise, which then they would be able to keep all of their profits. The event will be on June 15th at Metre Squared (Regents House, 2 Muirfield Crescent,  London, E14 9SZ) 17:00- 22:00.

The visual art that will be on display will range from painting, sculpture, and installation. Performances will include a live band and poetry reading. The overall theme of the exhibition is a celebration of culture. As we face the devastating realities of ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza, we believe it is imperative to create a local/accessible space where we can share Palestinian culture that can represent the beauty and resilience of the Palestinian people.
