Memories Carried: Palestine House, London

ONE-NIGHT ONLY at PALESTINE HOUSE
THURSDAY 8 MAY, 6-9PM

After touring in the UK and Europe throughout winter 2024, the Memories Carried international campaign and touring exhibition is coming back to London for one night only, raising funds for human rights and humanitarian charities working in Palestine.

Created by Iraqi photographer and filmmaker Yamam Nabeel, Memories Carried brings together over 30 international photographers and activists, including artists from Palestine, the wider Arab Region, across Latin America, the UK and Europe, all committed to raising funds for charities on the ground in Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and Lebanon.

The exhibition series and campaign is a collaboration between Art Forward and Amnesty International UK, and has already raised thousands for vital causes, supporting Al Haq, Al Mezan, The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund, and Health Workers for Palestine.

The event will be hosted by Palestine House, a vibrant cultural and community hub in the heart of London, designed to embody the spirit and heritage of Palestine.

As part of the campaign, The Wall of Hope initiative will invite the public to take portraits of friends and family with a personal message of hope, which can be submitted online with a donation and an invitation to others to do the same. Beyond raising funds, the aim is to create a digital wall of portraits to offer hope and solidarity with the people of Gaza. This will be exhibited online and internationally at events, including projections on public landmarks.

Through an evolving programme of exhibitions and events, and most importantly through community building and conversation, this campaign will educate the public, support organisations working on the ground in Gaza and Lebanon, and build a repository of hope with international reach.

Memories Carried will unite prominent voices on both a global stage and within local communities, denouncing the systematic discrimination of Palestinians under Israel’s system of apartheid.
