Art, Memory, and Resistance from Childhood: An International Educational Project in Solidarity with Palestine
A global mural-education initiative connecting children in solidarity with Palestine
The Project
What Is “The Names of Freedom”?
The Names of Freedom is a free, open-access educational initiative that uses mural art to connect children around the world in solidarity with Palestine.
Born in Chile in 2024 and inspired by the voices and images of 42 children from Schools Without Borders in Gaza, the project invites educators, artists, communities, and organizations to create participatory murals adapted to local realities yet united by a common cause: justice and liberation for Palestine.
Why This Matters
Collective voice against genocide
More than art: a global message against the genocide in Palestine, built from children’s protagonism, solidarity among peoples, and the universal language of art.
Learning & Memory
Through mural creation, children express themselves, learn about memory and human rights, and strengthen the culture of grassroots resistance.

The images of children, from Palestine or wherever else, are particularly sensitive and must be treated with care. To receive the 42 photos of the SWB students please get in contact with us.
