The Work You Support at Watan
Art & Cultural Workshops
Watan is first and foremost a space to explore empowering art and expression. We hold regular workshops that both ensure the continuance of Palestinian heritage by passing on our culture and also support the emergence of new ideas and creativity. We have held tatreez embroidery workshops, painting sessions, book talks, film screenings, and much more.

The Palestinian Women's Library
Inspired by the Alex Odeh Memorial Library established by SJP at UCLA, we established the Palestinian Women's Library at the inception of our first studio in Orland Park, Illinois. We named it in honor of all the unrecognized labor Palestinian women have invested in our collective survival, thriving, and liberation. This is a growing public library of texts on Palestine. Our community is able to come in and check out books often unavailable in public institutions. This is one part of how we aim to give back to and empower our immediate community.

Watan as a Community Resource
We also believe in paying our blessings forward and offering resources to our community. As a consequence, we offer our space as a resource for communal work and have hosted everything from political workshops to community dinners, film productions and beyond. Want to host your own workshop? Produce a podcast? Record music? Let us help support your work!
10% DONATION: MORE THAN A BANDAGE SOLUTION
Watan is committed to critically thinking about the way we allocate donations from our work. We firmly believe that the best solution is to multiply work for Palestine and its intersections. This means expanding beyond simple donation to charitable organizations. While we do donate to amazing organizations like Palestine Children's Relief Fund and UNRWA, Watan aims to diversify the kinds of projects we support. We have donated to everything from documentary projects to anti-surveillance work, from student activism to domestic and international legal advocacy, from refugee empowerment to graduate student delegations to Palestine, and more. We think about what it means to invest in long-term, strategic work.
NGOs will not save us -- radical, imaginative, and love-filled political work to imagine a liberated world will. We cannot create a world like that alone, so we're going to support those who are doing the work to do just that.
