About the Book
All proceeds donated to Ajyal Foundation, providing long-term rehabilitation for children in Gaza and urgent support to displaced communities since October 2023
Love is Resistance is a collection of 77 commissioned posters by artists, musicians, writers, designers, filmmakers, actors, digital creators and voices from across the world standing in solidarity with Palestine. Each poster tells its own story – recalling iconic figures, pivotal moments, poems and personal acts of remembrance – and bears witness to grief while insisting on life, justice and liberation.
The posters can be torn out, framed and hung, taken to peaceful protests or kept together as an archive. This art book also includes a double-sided fold-out sticker insert, a signed set of Kyle Goen’s iconic GAZA Love stamps and three posters drawn by children in Gaza, collected by the Ajyal Foundation.
Bold, heartbreaking and defiantly hopeful, Love is Resistance is a tribute to Palestinian resilience and a tool for global solidarity. This is art as resistance and solidarity in action.
