In the U.S., at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), students barricaded themselves inside a campus building which they renamed Fathi Ghaben Hall, after the acclaimed Palestinian artist who died after being unable to get care in Gaza.
Santiago Alvarado of RISD Students for Justice in Palestine told reporters: “Fathi Ghaben is a Palestinian artist who was martyred after being unable to receive treatment because of the Israeli occupation. And as artists, I believe that it is our moral duty to call for an end to genocide.”
