About the Item
Bold, graphic, and deeply emotive, this original 1975 poster was issued by the Union of Palestinian Students to mark the Day of Solidarity on May 15—a date now globally recognized as Nakba Day, commemorating the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948. Designed during a time of heightened international activism and revolutionary student movements, the poster is both a call to action and a visual manifesto of resistance.
The artwork is stark and arresting: red and black silhouetted hands reach upward in a symbol of unity, protest, and collective struggle. The overlapping forms evoke solidarity and urgency, while the visual simplicity amplifies the strength of its message. The Arabic text reads:
"May 15 – A Day of Solidarity with the Students of the Occupied Land.
Students of the world, raise your voices and extend your hands in solidarity with the students of Palestine in the occupied land."
Created at the intersection of political art and grassroots organizing, this poster encapsulates the spirit of global student resistance in the 1970s. It urges international youth to unite with their Palestinian peers in defiance of oppression and military occupation. The use of red—often associated with revolution and bloodshed—alongside black, adds a solemn and militant undertone to the composition.
This piece is more than just propaganda—it’s a document of transnational solidarity, and a powerful reminder of how design was used to galvanize political awareness and action across borders. Today, it remains a compelling artifact of resistance art, and a sought-after collectible for those engaged in the visual and political history of the Palestinian cause.
