What did you do… (2024) – a series of posters for Palestine raising funds for MAP
In February we launched a poster project, What did you do… (2024) in response to the urgent humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We invited artists to contribute work that speaks to ideas of solidarity with the oppressed, and liberation for the occupied, for a series of A3 posters. Facing no respite from barbarism, now, more than ever, Palestinians need our support and solidarity. You can help by buying one of these posters – all proceeds from this project will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
Posters are in various editions priced from £10–75 (+VAT), with work from Marcus Coates, Jeremy Deller, Dora García, Karl Holmqvist, Marianne Keating, Rosalind Nashashibi, Sofia Niazi, Katrina Palmer, Charlie Prodger, Cecilia Vicuña, and many others.
When we are silent we are still afraid is a phrase from ‘A Litany for Survival’, a poem by American writer, professor, philosopher, intersectional feminist, poet and civil rights activist Audre Lorde, used here by The Alternative School of Economics to puncture the ongoing silence and lack of action we witness in response to the war on Gaza.

The Touch Report
Katrina Palmer £16.00
‘Katrina Palmer’s The Touch Report asks a question that remains in motion for the duration of this extraordinary book. What is here? What’s still here? Here, Palmer writes an account of subjugation that is gestural, an on-going sequence of expulsions and punctures… Is there a kind of writing so transient it’s barely there? In Palmer’s writing, we encounter an ethics of presence and form that is deeply moving, completely and unbearably real.’ —Bhanu Kapil, author of How To Wash A Heart
We are pleased to announce the release of our latest title from Katrina Palmer! The Touch Report is available to pre-order at the special price of £16.00 (reduced from £18.00) until 10 December.
Katrina Palmer was commissioned by the National Gallery, London, as part of the 2024 National Gallery Artist in Residence Programme in collaboration with the Contemporary Art Society, generously supported by Anna Yang and Joseph Schull. This book is published as a result of research made during this residency.
