We release UNBOUNDABLE: BDS MIXTAPE VOL. 3 today as we mark 20 years since the Palestinian call for BDS went global;

as Gaza’s people continue to endure genocidal siege, bombs, famine, and fire;

and as repression of Palestine solidarity rapidly escalates.

"In each interval of calm, I feel time slowing down—as if the world outside Gaza moves forward while we remain stuck inside the same unfinished sentence trapped between survival and meaning."

Everything left in this city hurts.
Even the autumn breeze it hurts.
The moonlight it hurts.
The swaying palms they hurt.
The sea, with its endless blue stretch
it hurts.
And these dry tears,
salty,
they hurt.

Please read this amazing essay by my dear friend Saher Safi, who discusses his childhood in Bureij Refugee Camp, Gaza, and the pain of now witnessing genocide. Saher worked for months on this essay, which was a difficult process for him. He ended up producing some exceptionally powerful writing.
I came to UK from Gaza seeking hope. Instead, I found complicity
After a lifetime under Israeli siege and shelling in Gaza, Saher Safi built a life of his own. He expected Israel’s cruelty, but not the UK’s indifference.

Nearly all of the art at New York’s Gaza Biennale had to be digitally reproduced — though not as simple “copies,” in the words of the organizers, but rather “displaced objects … signs for a message that has traveled across borders and the siege.”
