This exhibition honours the memories of Palestinians who were murdered by the Israeli regime during the ongoing war on Gaza, specifically the students and educators targeted in acts of scholasticide.
The reported casualties that you see on the printed exhibition displays are outdated as of August 2024.
Every day, more and more students, professors, and innocent Palestinians have their careers, their limbs, their families, and their lives ruthlessly stolen by the ongoing Israeli genocide.
In July 2024, the Lancet published an article stating that "it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza" (Khatib, Rasha et al., 2024).
SCHOLASTICIDE (noun)
