Join us on March 15 at 4pm for a closing reception of the exhibition Architecture of Genocide: Gaza Before and After October 2023. Come learn about the Palestinian struggle for liberation through revolutionary songs with the Palestinian Youth Ensemble as they perform “Mawtini" (My Homeland), the Palestinian National Anthem that discusses the immense unconditional love and loyalty we hold for our land, and "Salam Li Gaza" (Salute to Gaza) which serves as a tribute to Gaza. It discusses the deep resilience Palestinians in Gaza (and the land itself) hold that have allowed them to remain steadfast amidst the death and destruction they endure and survive. Stick around for a powerful presentation that goes through a timeline of events after October 2023, highlighting the occupation’s intentional targeting and destruction of necessary civil infrastructure in order to commit genocide in Gaza. Together we document both the occupation’s crimes against humanity, but also the steadfastness of the people of Gaza who have persevered through the unimaginable. 

Organization: The Palestinian Youth Movement is an independent, grassroots movement that organizes Palestinian and Arab youth to struggle for Palestinian liberation. PYM draws from Palestinian revolutionary history, where the participation of youth in the national struggle has been central in leading and sustaining our struggle. We believe that Palestinian youth have a right and responsibility, even in the far diaspora, to be active participants in working to liberate our people and land from the river to the sea.
