<p><strong>Echoes of Solidarity</strong> is the working title of an exhibition, performances and a series of other events that will take place towards the end of 2022. The project was initiated as a collaboration between the A M Qattan Foundation and Mosaic Rooms to probe the epistemologies of cultural solidarity with the Palestinian struggle and its social and cultural manifestations inside and outside colonised Palestine.</p> <p>The Afro-Middle East Centre (AMEC) and Conscience Collective have adopted the project for a South African audience in solidarity with Palestine. Through collaboration with Palestine solidarity movements, other organisations, individuals and artists, AMEC seeks to bring the project to life in South Africa.</p> <p>The daily struggle of Palestinians to end the persistent Israeli colonial project has become global. Israel continues its 74-year onslaught against Palestinians through reinvented colonial forms aimed at suppressing Palestinian resistance through continuous ethnic cleansing; forced displacement and dispossession; the ravaging bombardments of Gaza; the fascist apartheid system of discrimination, control, and torture of Palestinian citizens living in Israel; and the occupation of the West Bank outsourced to the Palestinian Authority.</p> <p>Echoes of Solidarity South Africa will revisit the universalism of the Question of Palestine using creative forms. A series of events will be held over three days in the last week of November 2022, coinciding with the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (29 November).</p>
