ISRAELI STATE CRIMES IN PALESTINE SINCE 14 MAY 1948, a new durational performance by Artist Santiago Sierra begun at 6pm on 22 September at 6 Stannary Street, London, SE11 4AA.

Arabic speaking performers read aloud, continuously, the names of Palestinians killed in historic Palestine by the Israeli state, its forces and settlers since the establishment of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948.

The reading runs 24 hours a day until the list is complete. Where a name has not been recorded, the reader speaks the Arabic word مجهول (Majhul), meaning „Unknown”, followed by the location of the death.

Open daily 10am to 6pm, with the live-stream 24/7 via the A/POLITICAL website and globally through a network of cultural venues and institutions.

Produced and curated by A/POLITICAL in partnership with a Palestine-based research institution, which has requested anonymity.The names have been compiled from established source lists and online databases, alongside UN records, legal files, public registers, archival material and other published sources. These records exist largely because of the work of the Palestinian people and their commitment to documenting and remembering their lives and deaths.

A/POLITICAL has collaborated with journalists and historians to produce the most complete and accurate record possible. The ongoing occupation, displacement, destruction of archives and restrictions on access to records mean gaps will inevitably remain.

In the context of the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the continued recovery of names and records, this is not a final account, but part of an ongoing process of gathering and checking names to honour as many victims as possible.

Including the bodies of civilians they’ve killed.

No one in mainstream western media is reporting this at all, this is one of the worst atrocities Israel has done in this war and only independent media and human rights organizations are reporting on it. Erasing the rubble and bodies and evidence of war crimes is itself a war crime
