Excerpt
The Calendar reflects a feminist tradition of collective creation from concept and development to its final form. We mark anniversaries in Palestinian history and draw out crucial lessons from our ancestors, elders, past movements, land, and traditions. This practice reminds us that the past and present are tethered to one another and are central to making a liberated future. Featuring the artwork of fifteen Palestinian women artists from across historic Palestine and throughout the diaspora, including Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, England, Canada, and the United States, the Calendar represents a continuity of Palestinian land and people, wherever we may reside. Centering creativity, the Calendar illustrates how art and culture remain enduring vehicles for Palestinian expression and hold restorative power toward the re-creation of life and resistance beyond ruin.
Throughout the Calendar, we name anniversaries and commemorations in Palestinian history that we hold close. While the list is not exhaustive, the dates we feature offer diverse moments in Palestinian feminist, political, resistance, and mourning traditions. Some dates commemorate violences enacted by colonial and imperial powers, while others signify tragic betrayals on the part of Palestinian and Arab leaders. Many others honor our collective histories of resistance, steadfastness, and perseverance. The dates we include recount a history which is simultaneously and unavoidably colored by both immense despair and profound resilience.
