With Palestine is a series of new art writings which critically engages with diverse Palestinian art practices.
In January 2025, GSA Palestine Solidarity Society hosted a study session on the art and work of the martyred Palestinian writer, politician and artist Ghassan Kanafani. Facilitated by Hussein Mitha, the session encouraged us to consider the role of art in the struggle for a liberated Palestine and how we can apply learnings from Palestinian artists, writers and scholars towards collective liberation. This led us to initiate With Palestine as a location for fixed and prolonged attention.
We have invited our fellow Art Writing students to respond to the work of Palestinian artists. The series is iterative, publishing on The Yellow Paper from April 2025 onwards, and features a range of forms and approaches.
Amid the ongoing genocide, we write With Palestine.
