Palestine Lives! // Ten Years of Librarians and Archivists with Palestine

Palestine Lives! presents Palestinian liberation materials from the collection of Interference Archive through the themes of the Nakba, the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, cultural resistance, and international and Jewish solidarity. Together, these materials represent close to a half century of Palestinian resistance and global solidarity affirming that Palestine Lives!

Ten Years of Librarians and Archivists with Palestine gives an overview of a decade of solidarity work through the lens of information access and cultural heritage. Since 2013, Librarians & Archivists with Palestine members have been to Palestine twice, made zines, posters, and presentations, coordinated discussions around the world on works of Palestinian literature, launched a campaign to get books into Palestinian libraries, developed resources for archival research, and more. We believe that it is crucial to understand that the Israeli state’s destruction and appropriation of Palestinian material culture is part of a continuum of ethnic cleansing, one that is ongoing today. Through our work, we support the preservation of Palestinian culture as one aspect of an ongoing process of resistance, which in all its myriad forms resoundingly refutes the notion that Palestine does not exist.
