The COUNTERPOWER EXPO

𝗜𝘁𝘀𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗯𝘅𝗹 @itsnotcomplicatedbxl and  𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻 @flyers_for_falastin are two collectives dedicated to raising awareness about the Palestinian cause through art, cultural events and visual media. Since we believe in art as a powerful way to address existing power structures and systematic oppression, this expo is providing a platform for both Palestinian and international artists to express counterpower. 

𝗜𝘁𝘀𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗯𝘅𝗹 will present a timeline of occupation in Palestine along with an explanation of the timeline at 17:00, after the welcoming speech. 

𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻 will present a selection of 13 posters illustrated by different artists from all over the world, who created powerful illustrations for Palestine.

There will be a possibility to support the artists by buying their work. There will also be an interactive “occupation wall” where we can collectively write and draw to express our thoughts and feelings on the ongoing situation in Palestine and other places in the world.
