Note: This goal meter shows what we have received this month.

In response to the ongoing violence and erasure of Palestinian lives and histories, we are moving our studio to the heart of Brussels to organise, present, and build community. To make this move possible, we ask for your support in sustaining space for solidarity, imagination, and resilience.

As a Belgian–Palestinian cultural platform, we act through engaged design from Palestine, supporting the livelihood of makers, amplifying their voices, and empowering international solidarity — not only to survive, but to shape what comes next. The moral vacuum we’ve witnessed since October 2023 and the ongoing horror it exposed compels us to shape sounder ways of gathering and creating. 

This September, we will be moving our organisation to a new shared space in the centre of Brussels. This move will allow us to expand our activities with a better-equipped venue for organising, a permanent street-level exhibition space, and an open door to — and in the heart of — our community.

💡 But we need your help.

We are a small non-profit with a voluntary team, operating on minimal margins to ensure that nearly all revenue supports the makers on the ground in Palestine. To cover the costs of our new studio, we are seeking allies — individuals like you — who wish to contribute to resiliency, imagination and hope.

🤝 Become a monthly ally

If 20 people give €50 per month —
Or 40 people give €25 —
Or 100 people give €10 —
We can sustain the monthly rental and logistic costs, and keep the space alive.

Your contribution will help us:

→ Host participatory gatherings in central Brussels

→ Offer a permanent public showcase of Palestinian designs in a street-level window gallery

→ Hold space for our community 

→ Provide more storage and presentation opportunities for our products, allowing for greater distribution and impact

→ Continue our mission to disarm the occupation

More than ever, Palestinian narratives must be heard — honestly and unapologetically. Culture is not a luxury. It’s political. It’s how we resist, connect, imagine, and rebuild. Our new studio will be more than a workspace — it is a site of presence, imagination, and solidarity.

The studio is located at Place du Samedi in a protected 1920s building on the fourth floor, connected to a permanent gallery at street level. We are sharing this space with other cultural makers and community builders committed to a more just and solidaric world. With your support, we can move here in September 2025.

🙌 Will you stand with us?

Become a monthly donor — whether €10 or €100 — and help us hold space for collective creation, critical dialogue, and Disarming Design. This move is not just practical — it is political.

In solidarity and gratitude,
