HOME
From Palestine to Turtle Island
Home: From Palestine to Turtle Island is an interdisciplinary project weaving together threads of solidarity, resilience, and liberation for all colonized people from Palestine to Turtle Island. Focused on art and cultural archiving paired with creating spaces for political education and collective healing, the project builds intersectional solidarity, demands divestment from colonial industries, and provides direct support to impacted communities.
Centered in the lineage of indigenous structures, stories of home are explored through political education workshops while being preserved and celebrated through a virtual gallery and cultural archive, and physical art exhibition. Daarna Partnership Principles anchor Home reaffirming comrades' commitments to Palestinian’s and all colonized people’s liberation.

Political Education Teach-Ins
Participants are guided through a political education teach-in, meditative visioning exercise, and small group discussions exploring concepts including what do our life experiences teach us about the kind of society we live in, the kind we want, and how do we get there together? What makes a person? What makes a home?
The People’s Solidarity Tent
The People’s Solidarity Tent, a project of HOME, is an interactive traveling art installation, embodying the dimensions of the most common refugee shelter in the world. Building solidarity one interaction at a time, the Tent is a visual and physical metaphor for the labor, kinship, and love needed to bring about collective liberation. In early days, the People’s Solidarity Tent was fragile, transparent, and easily ripped, however over time, as individual and group reflections, artworks, and messages of love and solidarity to Palestine are gathered, the Tent became reinforced with care and intention, ultimately becoming resilient through our collective solidarity.
Practice Principles
We join in unanimity with those who have publicly announced their support and solidarity with the Palestinian people - exposing the ongoing genocide as inseparable from struggles against racism, patriarchy, and settler colonial violence worldwide. We publicly reaffirm our commitment to Palestinian’s and all colonized people’s liberation and offer our Practice Principles as a foundation for daarna’s work.
Collaborate with Us!
We partner with refugees, local communities, artists, and activists to provide needed resources that can empower refugees to create new homes.
