If I Must Die

Refaat Alareer’s poem that helped inspire the project

June 2025

The Kite Project started in June 2025. Initially, kites were made with red paper. The red kites hung up in rows begged the question, “what is your red line to end the genocide in Palestine?”

Names and ages started off being written by hand. However, because of the relentless killing of innocent children and their families by the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces), writing names and ages by hand would take a lifetime.

With the help and support of Nero Ink, we were able to create a design that included the names and ages of children between the ages of 0-18 years old.

A message from Nero Ink:

“No, thank you. You had some of our visitors (and us) in tears. For me it was really important to print their names, and to dignify each one.”
