On June 5–6, a fundraising art auction will take place at FOMO Art Space in support of Renew Roots, a women-led school in Gaza providing free, trauma-informed education. After the school building was destroyed in an IDF strike, classes have continued in temporary tents. Proceeds from the event will directly support the rebuilding of a safe and stable learning space for marginalized and displaced children.
The exhibition brings together Palestinian, Swiss and international artists, including Shirana Shahbazi and Vidya Gastaldon and featuring original works by Palestinian artists Layla Hesham and Ola.
