Over the years, Deveron Projects has hosted and worked with artists and partners from all over the world. The projects created have linked Huntly with global experiences and issues, showing how we are interconnected with other people and places. Many artists have made artworks in support of global justice movements, including the liberation of Palestine from 75 years’ occupation by Israel.
 
Like then, Deveron Projects stands with Palestine now.
 
Please join us in Square Deal on Wednesday to write to our political representatives in support of Palestinian people, to raise our voices against the ongoing genocide and occupation by Israel. Although our First Minister has called for immediate ceasefire, the silence and complicity of others, including our Prime Minister and other leaders, is causing the loss of thousands of lives.  
 
If you aren’t sure what to do, are feeling helpless, overwhelmed, heartbroken and angry in the face of the suffering and violence in Gaza, this is a productive thing you can do. There is no requirement to ‘know’ lots about Palestine or the ongoing struggle – this will be a supportive and welcoming space to come together and use our collective power, learn from each other and advocate for ceasefire.

Further details

  • Anyone who supports the safety and liberation of Palestinian people is welcome at this event, including families and children.
  • We believe that being pro-Palestine and against anti-Semitism go hand in hand, because all systems of oppression reinforce one another, and cannot be fought in isolation. 
  • There is a Square Deal access guide available online here. If there is anything we can put in place to help you participate comfortably, please let us know.
  • We will provide refreshments and postcards for writing to our representatives.
