BOYCOTT DIVEST SANCTION!!
END APARTHEID!!
Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is a tool for
mobilizing grassroots support on the
global level for the Palestinian liberation struggle
against Israel’s decades-old regime of settler-
colonialism and apartheid. It is a grassroots
solidarity mechanism to raise awareness about
Israeli apartheid and to mobilize support for
strategic BDS campaigns to end international
complicity in this system of oppression as a
meaningful contribution to dismantling it.

"In light of this year's [2022] Provincetown Carnival theme, Monsters, Myths & Legends, the Fine Arts Work Center is thrilled to display Mermaid, honoring the life and work of David Bethuel Jamieson (1963-1992), an African American artist active in Provincetown in the 1980s who died of AIDS-related causes in 1992. He lived and worked upstairs in the barn at the FAWC where he created Mermaid in 1987. During this period, AIDS was all around us and it was definitely a terminal illness at that time. Testing had only recently become available and was not yet widely available, public education had only just begun. Bethuel's
Mermaid epitomizes this era. 2021 was the official 40th anniversary of widespread news of HIV/AIDS."
