Every year, Amos Trust’s Christmas Appeal raises money for grassroots projects in Palestine. Please show your support by buying our new ‘Steal All The Flowers’ Christmas cards. The image on the front is a painting called ‘My Window on Gaza’ by Gazan artist Raed Issa and used with his kind permission.
Show your support by purchasing our reprinted Bethlehem Candle Christmas cards and help support our Christmas Appeal which raises funds for our work in Palestine. Sold as a pack of 10 A6 cards with envelopes, the message on the front reads ‘Wishing you Peace this Christmas’ along with a quote from Martin Luther King inside.
The Keffiyeh is a traditional Middle Eastern headdress traditionally worn by Palestinian farmers which became a symbol of Palestinian nationalism during the Arab Revolt of the 1930s. Outside of the Middle East and North Africa, the Keffiyeh first gained popularity among activists supporting the Palestinians in the conflict with Israel. These Keffiyeh’s are made in Palestine.
In the 1970s, the Israeli government made public displays of the Palestinian flag a criminal offence in Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinian artists began to circumvent the ban by using the watermelon because, when cut open, the fruit bears the national colours of the Palestinian flag — red, black, white and green. So, the humble watermelon became a representation of Palestinian resistance to this day.
You asked, we listened. Our new Sumud merchandise is here! Sumud is an Arabic word that means ‘steadfastness’ or ‘steadfast perseverance’ and is a common term used to describe Palestinian non-violent resistance against Israel’s occupation. Grab yourself a T-shirt, Baseball shirt or Hoodie today. With worldwide shipping available. All profits go to our work in the West Bank and Gaza.
Amos Trust’s On Location exhibition introduces leading visual artists from Gaza and explores the motivations, frustrations and realities of being artists under siege. This 62-page, full-colour coffee table catalogue of the collection is printed on 200-gram silk art board and is the perfect gift for the art lover in your life.
Our second book of poetry, prose, creative writing and reflection is now available. ‘Seeds Of Hope: More Thoughts and Reflections from Amos Trust’ has contributions from Zena Kazeme, Arundhati Roy, Ben Okri, Cornel West, Angela Davis, Robert Cohen, Maya Angelou and our partner Abdelfattah Abusrour. “What a wonderful collection of writing — rich, deep, broad, funny, touching, angry, and, most importantly, encouraging.” Brian Eno — producer, musician, writer and artist.
Drawing on wisdom from the ages and insights from the everyday, this deeply human collection of daily readings is the ideal travelling companion on the bumpy road to peace, love and understanding. Less of a ‘how to’ book than a ‘try this’ book, Hold On, Let Go is about keeping your feet on this sacred earth. And taking wing. At the same time.
