IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALL THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THE EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY AND SYRIA

Institute of Radical Imagination joins the call for solidarity published by L’Internationale (below).

As concrete actions are needed IRI decided to make three donations for an amount of € 2.368,20.

We invite all those who can to donate.

“We, the L’Internationale Confederation, are devastated by the news of the severe earthquake in the regions of Turkey and Syria. The death toll is already above 30,000 lives and millions of people are without a home or adequate shelter. After a week of tireless and breathtaking rescue efforts in harsh winter weather there are still miraculous rescues happening that give moments of hope. Above all, the international effort that is now being organised must focus on the victims and offer them care and support both material and spiritual.

We’d like to express our solidarity with all people touched by this tragedy and especially with our colleagues and friends at Salt, with whom we collaborate closely as part of the confederation. We stand by them now and beyond the immediate aftermath of this catastrophe to help them hold their resolve and rebuild for the future.

We would like to urge all our friends and colleagues in the international art community to support the relief efforts by donating to any of the organisations below. This list has been drawn up together with Salt in Istanbul and to our knowledge represents the most credible and effective NGOs working in the region.”
