Palestine is under attack. Thousands of civilians are dying in Gaza. The governments of our Western countries in Europe are complicit in this genocide. Their silence is painful. The wall besieging Gaza today is much more than just a concrete wall. Following the tragic attack on 7 October, Israel is not allowing journalists to enter Gaza. They have also cut off electricity and the internet, creating a ‘Media Wall’ that prevents the necessary balance in the telling of the story. Fortunately, there are still some photojournalists in Gaza who are risking their lives to document what is happening there. And thanks to the ethics of photojournalism, the images they capture provide a faithful account of what is happening in Gaza.
We have launched a creative movement in which we invite artists to create works of art based on the images taken by these extraordinary journalists, adding the MUTO symbol, and we encourage the public to display them in their towns and cities. It is just a small gesture to say WE DO NOT AGREE, WE ARE NOT COMPLICIT, WE LOOK AWAY. So let’s print and share. By creating artworks based on the images of these professional photojournalists, we aim to build a bridge between our community of artists, those facing death every second in Gaza, and the citizens of the world. A simple way to show support by revealing the truth of what is happening.
