Art at the Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural

Hosted by The Rachel Corrie Foundation
Join the Rachel Corrie Foundation at the Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural and reflect on the global history of the art on the leaves with lights, music and poetry. Bring the whole family and your creative thinking.

On Friday evening the mural lights up after dark, with DJs Capt. Tripps, Treez and Hazel Zen. Upstairs, the Art Forces gallery shows work by Palestinian artists.

On Saturday at 2 p.m., together we will recognize a newly made mural leaf that honors the life and work of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi. Write and share your poetry, or read through the eyes of featured Palestinian poets, and hear a reading of Rachel Corrie's writing. Witness the debut display of "Doves for Gaza", a local community art effort of 150+ led by local Palestinians mourning with painted doves and the names of children in Gaza. DJs Greilark, Onyx Ocean and Hazel Zen play through the afternoon.
