Visit Palestine Poster Exhibition
Where: Providence Cafe & After Hours Bar, Newdegate Street, North Hobart
When:
The Visit Palestine Poster Exhibition is running from the 6 to the 19 June at Providence Cafe in North Hobart.
It shows a collection of original Palestinian protest posters from the 1970s to 1990s. They are a testament to the resilience and resistance of the Palestinian people as they survive genocide at the hands of israel and western colonial powers.
You can purchase the accompanying catalogue of posters there during this time, and join the raffle, which will be drawn on the last night of the exhibition.
There is also an art auction going for a piece created in response to the exhibition by wuratji truwalata / Cody Gangell-Smith, titled Right to Resist. Find out more on our social media.
