Dear creative souls and project collaborators! Since I last posted an updated, I have received two pages (blankets) and I have crocheted one more myself. We now have a total of five pages plus the cover. And if you check the project excel sheet here, you'll notice that others have already finished several other pages (which I am yet to receive). So, we are moving along. Slower than I naively expected, but moving along nonetheless. Of course, these 30 initial pages with names represent only a fraction of the people who have died in Gaza, and the number had grown dramatically to over 30,000 or even 40,000 according to some sources. This project is about creating more and more awareness on what's happening in Gaza, and the extent of the genocide and destruction. It is also about putting down in the records of history this violent and insatiable hatred of Palestinians, and saying out loud that Never Again. This should not be happening now, and should never happen again in the future. If you know any friends who share these values and would like to collaborate, please let them know. We still need many more people to help this project come to life. Also, although I am considering doing an online exhibition, I would prefer to have the installation in a gallery for people to visit, read, contribute by adding their works of support and compassion, and maybe even adding a knitted or crocheted pillow, or toy or booties - anything they feel they can and want to contribute. Thank you again to everyone who has joined and shared and contributed. xoxox Fadwa |
