Two exhibitions raising funds and awareness for Palestinians open in London this week. The main show, titled 'GAZAGAZAGAZA', features over 400 donated works by more than 200 artists from 35 countries, organized by Studio 1.1 and the artist-led activist community Artists Supporting Palestine (ASP). Proceeds from sales, including postcard-sized works priced at £20, will benefit Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). Additional fundraising initiatives include prints by Gaza-based artists and a badges project supporting children in Gaza.
This exhibition matters because it directly challenges what organizers describe as the art world's silence on the Gaza conflict, contrasting with strong support for Ukraine. The overwhelming response to the open call signals a grassroots demand among artists to speak out. By channeling sales to humanitarian aid and individual Palestinian artists, the show transforms artistic solidarity into tangible financial support, while also providing a platform for voices often marginalized in top-tier art institutions.
