“As many people all around the world, we are shocked by the situation in Palestine, and have been for many years. Palestine is under fire. Thousands of civilians are dying in Gaza. Our Western countries’ governments in Europe are complicit in this genocide. Their silence hurts. Just a small gesture to say: we do not agree, we are not complicit, we are not looking away. So we print and paste,Print and paste.”
UNMUTE GAZA TEAM
The UNMUTE GAZA art movement is a global creative initiative founded by supporters of Palestine in collaboration with artists and Belal Khaled. The movement represents an open call for artists from around the world to create artworks inspired by images captured by Belal Khaled and other photographers during the war on Gaza. Its goal is to transform pain and suffering into a powerful visual language that transcends borders. The movement encourages the public to print these artworks and paste them on street walls in their cities, turning public spaces into platforms for the Palestinian voice and visual messages that reject global silence.
UNMUTE GAZA has succeeded in creating a powerful artistic movement involving hundreds of artists from various countries. Their works quickly spread across global streets, covering city walls and resonating in demonstrations supporting Palestine. This movement stands as a living testament to the power of art in resistance and solidarity, serving as a platform that retells the stories of Gaza in a language the world can understand.
