About us
We are now 53 artists: 27 Palestinian – and 26 artists living in Norway! Posters for Palestine – Norway (PFP) was created in 2024, inspired by “Florence for Gaza” in Italy. We invite different artists to contribute with artwork that we print in A3 riso and sell to support the Gazan artists in PFP. We want to show Palestinian art and artwork in solidarity with Palestine! In a dire time, witnessing from far a genocide taking place, we are part of a larger solidarity movement for the liberation of Palestine!
Our first exhibition was held on the 18th September 2024, in partnership with the Masahat festival for Arab arts and culture and Kunsthall Oslo/ Will Bradley. After that we have done exhibitions in various venues: Nitja/ Lillestrøm, Oslo Street Art, Studio5 Sandefjord, Nakba commemoration in Bergen 2025, Grafill in Oslo April 2026 and many more events!
The income from our sales goes directly to the Palestinian artists from Gaza and we have also supported Khalil Sakakini Culural Center in Ramallah, occupied Palestine. In the future we want to contribute to the “Artist to artist” initiative – organised by Shareef Sarhan and Ayman Al Azraq and others.

Hassala
We want to support this incredible initiative by Gazan artists: “Amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza, where every day brings irreversible loss, Hassala is a cultural and humanitarian intervention. Initiated by the artistic coalition Artists Together, Hassala exists to protect the survival – both physical and creative – of Palestinian artists in Gaza who continue to create, resist, and remember through art.

As bombs destroy homes, families, and neighbourhoods, Gaza’s artists are being killed, displaced, and starved. Hassala offers urgent support to help ensure that this generation of artists – Gaza’s cultural memory-keepers – can survive today’s destruction and still have the tools, strength, and support to tell the story tomorrow”.
Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center, Ramallah Palestine
Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center (KSCC) is one of the most beautiful Palestinian arts and culture organization. Located in Ramallah, KSCC is housed in a renovated building, dating back to the early 20th century, based on traditional Palestinian architecture.
Initially, the center was part of the Ministry of Culture when established in May 1996. Two years later, it became a non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO), independent organization. Since then, the center was named after the Jerusalemite scholar, poet, and nationalist, Khalil Sakakini (1878 – 1953).
Since its establishment, KSCC has played an important role in promoting arts and culture in Palestine, through fostering cultural heritage, creativity, and literary and artistic practices. In its early years, KSCC housed the offices of the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, from where he edited the literary review Al Karmel.
