Ge Bei/Ge Ba, Fabrics and rice glue, circa 1950s (1, 2, 3, 4)

The pieces of fabric utilized for these collages were either those that were found in people’s own homes or recuperated from others who threw them away. Back then, old ladies made them at home, at times in each other’s company. Aware of the potential for exquisiteness in their creations, they treated the making ritual as if were a beauty pageant. Sometimes they even included fragments of precious embroidery sewn on silk.

Prisons of the Occupation

Hello I am Mohammad Tayseer, 34 years old, Palestinian living in Gaza. I am married to Basma Ramez, and we have two children: Jude, who is 4 years old, and yazan, who is 2 and a half years old.

Our life was normal and full of optimism, and we had big ambitions.I worked in smartphone programming at City Phone. I was happy with my job, and our dreams were focused on building a bright and beautiful future for our children. We had a large, beautiful home that sheltered us, full of many wonderful memories.

But suddenly, without any warning, war destroyed everything beautiful in our lives. Our home was demolished by a missile, leaving nothing behind, and my company was also damaged. I lost my job, and we became homeless and without income.

We tried to flee more than five times to safer areas in search of security, but safety in Gaza has become nearly impossible. Death and destruction are everywhere, and our children live in a constant nightmare. Opportunities for education and entertainment have vanished, and basic necessities are scarce. We live in poverty and despair.

We are now seeking a chance to live in a safe place outside of Gaza. However, our only hope now is to escape this ongoing hell and find a safe haven for our family. This requires significant financial costs, as border crossing fees amount to $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, a sum I cannot afford on my own.

Every donation, no matter the amount, whether $10 or $20, will have a significant impact on our lives. Your contributions will help cover the costs of travel and living in a safe country. We hope to start a new life away from fear and destruction and give our children a new opportunity to dream and hope. Our children deserve to live in safety

⚠️From the risk of death to the risk of drowning..⚠️

Between the bombing, the shells of the planes and the cannons, and the sounds of bullets that echoed without stopping, the heavy rains came to represent an additional great suffering for the residents of the Gaza Strip. As winter approached for the second time during the war, the weather began to cool and the rain began to fall. It was light, so it flooded our tent, our food, our clothes, and even our mattresses with water. Sand and water became everywhere, and the tents became just pieces of cloth that did not protect against the rain and cold.

The life span of the nylon fabrics that tents are made of is 6 months, and now we have been living in them for a whole year, as they have melted from the intense heat of the sun, and we currently need to buy new nylon to make a new tent for 8 people so that we can control the situation, and this requires a large sum of money after the prices rose to 10 times the normal price, not to mention our need for blankets and covers to keep warm and protect our bodies from the winter cold.

Every contribution, big or small, saves us and helps us before it's too late. Please donate and help my family find the peace and security we deserve, and protect ourselves from the cold of winter, rain and drowning.

My heroic friends who support the Palestinian cause... Today, after we have lost hope in this world, I ask you to help us and stand by us before winter comes and engulfs the tent again.♥️🇵🇸

I hope you and your family are well 🌸💕

Please donate to save my family 🍉

I have a 2 year old baby (Youssef) who needs care, milk🍼, some medicine and healthy food🍞. I lost some of my family, my home and everything. 🥹🥹

I only have the baby left. Sorry if I bothered you. I feel too ashamed to even try to ask for help. All I want is for the rest of my family not to die. All I want is to save their lives. Save us from this hell. Please donate even a little. 🥹 🙏🙏

My name is Ashraf Alanqar, and I am 30 years old. My wife, Widad Issa, and I have a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Bakr. We used to live peacefully in the Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, in a house we built just a week before the war began. I worked as a farmer and owned a large chicken farm that provided for my family.

Beloved of my heart (Bakr)

Then the war came and destroyed everything. Our home was reduced to ashes, and our chicken farm was obliterated. We lost our home, our livelihood, and even our basic rights. We've been forced to move from place to place in northern Gaza, simply trying to survive.

My House before...

Me.. while trying to recognize what has happened..

The terror we feel as we flee from heavy bombardment is unbearable. The sound of explosions around us, the constant fear as we navigate through the rubble of destroyed homes searching for safety and food, haunts us every day. My son Bakr is constantly scared and suffers from severe malnutrition and skin diseases due to the lack of food, water, and sanitation.

Our beautiful memories.. :(

We urgently need your help. I am asking for your support to fund this campaign to move my family to a safe place, provide us with a proper home, and ensure we have enough food, water, and medical care.

Baker used to play with his dog.

Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. We desperately need your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we can restore hope and safety to Ashraf and his family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.

With deepest gratitude,

the reality that must be contended with (and, certainly, the unignorable, compulsory reality for the vast majority of the peoples of the world) is that the state of affairs is saturated with more blood than anybody in their single lives could possibly wrap their head around. comfortable liberals seem to want to believe the world is, on some level, good, or at least neutral. undoubtedly there are good things in this world, but that is true in such a trivial sense, like saying "the sun will rise the next day," that it amounts to nothing more than trite aphorism in the face of unimaginable cruelty.
