On May 24, the Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice in Los Angeles hosted a fundraising exhibit to support the people of Gaza. The event was titled “A Night of Witness and Art.”
The art displayed included incredible paintings by children who have survived the genocide and are now residing in Egypt at the Meera Kindergarten (Center). Also shown and for sale were photos by photojournalist Mahmoud Abusalama, who spoke to the crowd via Zoom.
All of the young artists had lost some or all of their family, and Abusalama had lost 30 members of his family to the barbaric Biden / Trump / Netanyahu genocide.
Fatin, of Unmute Humanity, conducted and translated an hour-long Q&A with Abusalama. In addition to the devastating loss of his family, Abusalama’s computer — containing much of his work — was destroyed when his home was bombed. This made the contribution of the few photos that were saved and used to raise funds for Gaza, especially moving.
It was clear that the exchange with supporters at the exhibit lifted his spirits.
The event, organized by Unmute Humanity, Riverside4Palestine, and the Harriet Tubman Center for Social Justice, raised nearly $5,000.
