Diari Acció Palestina: new voices and artistic languages to reflect on Palestine

Beyond the academic sphere, Acció Palestina also advocates for art and culture as ways to generate knowledge and open up new spaces for reflection. In this vein, the Ferrer Social Justice Foundation presented the Diari Acció Palestina last October, a publication promoted with Rebobinart and The Post Traumatic It brings together different voices and creative languages to approach the Palestinian reality from diverse perspectives..

The result is a proposal that draws on acid humor, irony, philosophical and political reflection, and absurdity to open up other ways of approaching a reality that is often mediated by the codes of conventional information. The newspaper takes on the appearance of a conventional publication, with sections such as International, Society, Sports, Obituaries, and El tiempo. Its pages combine testimonies, articles, interviews, artistic work, photography, humor, games, and provocation to address issues such as occupation, exile, memory, culture, identity, or European responsibility.

In total, 2,000 copies have been published and it is expected that there will be more editions. Among the people involved in the project are Franka, Xisco Mercadal, Clara Iris, Taysir Batniji, Shahd Abusalama, Yasmina Hilal, Saj Issa and Kleo La Faraona, among others.
