Palestine, Our Warm Home
NAMNAM Space

SHARE
An exhibition will be held by more than 100 artists and volunteers, all wishing for everyone in Palestine to live happily with their families in warm homes.
From 1948 to the present year of 2024, everyone in Palestine has been enduring unimaginable suffering while Japan continues to ignore the illegal occupation by Israel, violating international law. Currently, the people of Palestine are facing the loss of their homes, massacres, and life-threatening crises such as hunger and epidemics, confronting forces attempting to eradicate their ethnicity and culture.
This exhibition is a space for those in Japan to contemplate and practice what can be done for the happiness desired by everyone in Palestine. Resistance against immense violence is pursued through the power of expression—nonviolence. Expression holds the power to move people's hearts.
Artists, illustrators, designers, cartoonists, photographers, actors, art students—each one is using their expressive strengths to start protests. To raise awareness about the dire situation in Palestine, individual voices are amplified through solidarity.
Currently, there may be around 10,000 people in Japan raising their voices for Palestine. Until those voices reach 100 million, the massacre will not stop, and until the millions around the world reach 7.8 billion, the massacre will not end. Everyone in the international community must consider and act upon the issue of Palestine as if it were their own.
It's natural for everyone born into this world to want to live happily. Through Palestine, I hope this becomes an opportunity to start considering and practicing actions against the control and violence exercised by power in Japan and other countries. An exhibition aiming to cherish the preciousness of "everyone living," "everyone having their own life," and "living here and now," and connecting these sentiments to actions is the goal.
