🇵🇸Palestinians today mark 78 years since Nakba Day, a catastrophe that is ongoing and affects their lives on a daily basis.
We are proud to present artistic voices from six countries, selected through an open call for submissions, who are expressing their support and compassion for Palestinians through multiple languages and diverse artistic mediums.
This initiative by Palestinian Arts and Culture Solidarity Collective is a token of solidarity with Palestinians and a call to end ethnic cleansing and genocide, and to free Palestine.
Over the next few days, we will be commemorating the Nakba by featuring each artist individually.

📆On Wednesday 15 April, 3:30pm Palestine time (UTC+3)
The complicity of the United Nations in the ongoing genocide in Gaza
A lecture by Prof. Norman G. Finkelstein, co-chaired by: PACSOC Steering Committee members Iman Hammouri, Executive Director of the Popular Art Centre in Ramallah, Palestine and Mike van Graan, a playwright and producer based in Cape Town, South Africa.

In this webinar, Norman Finkelstein will speak to the final chapter of his forthcoming book, Gaza’s Gravediggers: An Inquiry into Corruption in High Places in which he argues that the Security Council’s Resolution of 17 November 2025 which outsources and ratifies the control of Gaza to Trump’s so-called Board of Peace, overturns decades of international law that declares illegal the Israel’s occupation of the territory and affirms the right of Palestinians to self-governance. If this is indeed the case, what then are the implications for the future of Palestine, for holding Israel accountable for the genocide and related war crimes, and for the relevance of the United Nations to uphold international law?
