Why We Are Fundraising for Medical Aid for Palestinians & Gaza Biennale in Oxford

We are fundraising for two vital causes:

  • 50% will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians delivering emergency relief to those facing unimaginable conditions 

  • 50% will be donated to Gaza Biennale including the upcoming Autumn 2025 Gaza Biennale exhibition in OVADA Gallery. These funds help us hold space and financially support Palestinian artists, ensuring their work is seen and to help support the infrastructure needed to carry this cultural movement forward

At OVADA we believe that art can be an act of resistance and survival.

As artists we are coming together to say: we will not look away. We will not be silent.

We need your support to make this possible. Whether you give a little or a lot, you become part of something larger — a global act of solidarity and cultural preservation.

Stand with us. Give what you can. Help us build a future where Palestinian life and art not only survives but thrives.

  • We want to raise as much as possible and our tickets are a suggested entry fee:
