The image features a hand-drawn illustration in colored pencil with floral elements and text. At the top, a purple tulip and a pink poppy bloom are connected by a vine. Written in capital green letters, the text states, "AS A CULTURAL ORGANISATION IN SCOTLAND WE PLEDGE TO SUPPORT." The central focus is the word "PACBI," rendered in bold red letters intertwined with green floral patterns. Below this, the text in green continues, "THE PALESTINIAN CAMPAIGN FOR THE ACADEMIC AND CULTURAL BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL." The bottom of the image showcases a detailed pink flower on the left and a red tulip-like flower bending towards the bottom right. The artwork carries an artisanal touch and communicates a pledge to support a specific political and social initiative.

SPAM Press pledge to support PACBI and the movement for a free Palestine.


SPAM is joining the call of Art Workers for Palestine, Fossil Free Books and Writers Against the War on Gaza to use our resources as a small press to formalise our stance against imperialism, colonialism and zionism emanating from the U.K.’s cultural sector’s apathy. 


We recognise that culture plays an integral role in normalising the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and following the 77th anniversary of Nakba day, the horrors we see in Palestine continue to escalate daily. 


We hope to add our voice to that of the increasing number of arts and literary organisations before us, who have stood in support of Palestinian liberation, and against the increasing censorship of a revolutionary cultural front which exists in solidarity with liberation movements within Palestine itself. 


The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) was initiated in 2004 to contribute to the struggle for Palestinian freedom, justice and equality. It advocates for a boycott of Israeli academic and cultural institutions for their deep and persistent complicity in Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights that are stipulated in international law.


There is no culture without Palestinian culture. Thank you @artworkersforpalestine for your efforts organising this campaign.

The image is a colored pencil drawing that includes both floral imagery and text. At the top, there are two flowers—a pink poppy and a purple tulip—connected by a green vine. The letters "PACBI" are prominently displayed in the center, outlined in red with green leafy patterns filling the spaces inside the letters. Below this, in bold red letters, the text reads "THE PALESTINIAN CAMPAIGN FOR THE ACADEMIC AND CULTURAL BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL." At the bottom of the image, there is a quote in quotation marks, "Finally, we are in a real culture war, which is to say a war in which every cultural front is engaged, a war in which we are fighting to make culture stand for life – life and freedom." This is attributed to "Writers Against the War on Gaza." The bottom of the artwork features a large pink flower on the left and a red tulip-like flower bending towards the bottom right. The drawing has an artistic, hand-drawn quality and presents a strong political message regarding cultural resistance and solidarity.

I really enjoyed exploring the creative pieces on SPAM Plaza. Embroidered cap custom logo designs remind me of how art and branding intersect in today’s culture. Embroidered cap custom logo products, much like the poems and essays here, offer a unique form of self-expression.

Many people will find it difficult to do their practice work because they Pay someone to do your assignment. These deals are mostly about getting a good job. When you use these deals, you can find good things. The information I write is clear, understandable, well-organized, and sometimes useful. Since they have been doing this for years, you don't have to worry about how great it is. You shouldn't be shy about asking someone to take my test for you.
