GazArt
Art for Palestine
Four days in which art becomes resistance, creativity becomes healing, and community becomes an act of solidarity.
GazArt is more than just a cultural event: it is a collective act of healing and resistance. A way to transform helplessness into tangible commitment, weaving together beauty, justice, community, and peace.
