Únete a nosotros para beber y pintar por una causa

On August 3rd, international watermelon day at 2 pm we will be hosting a sip and paint event and fundraiser in solidarity with Palestine

Materials will be provided and no previous experience is needed

Our dear friend and amazing local creative Jisu Sheen will be facilitating the session as we all paint beautiful watermelon themed art pieces representing the palestinian steadfast resilience

@gogumamathoughts is a narrative artist based in New Haven, seeking to reallocate dignity and beauty through painting, video, and sculpture. She is proud to participate in her community’s efforts to stay human at the heart of the empire.

We will also converse and learn about the history of the watermelon in Palestinian art and how in this moment of censorship the image of the watermelon has once again taken a very political meaning

all remaining funds will be directed to local Palestinian solidarity organization @wewillreturnpse whom we trust will direct the funds appropriately since they support Palestinians on the ground as well as organizing and education efforts here in the so called U.S.

We want to thank @semillacollectivenhv and @nimbusviajero for all the support, help, love and patience in organizing, and providing with art material for this event. Couldn’t have done it you!
