e-flux is launching a benefit sale of artworks to raise funds for relief efforts after the devastating earthquakes that struck Syria and Turkey on February 6. The disaster resulted in more than 57,000 deaths and left an estimated 1.5 million people homeless. All proceeds from this benefit sale will go toward the White Helmets in Syria and a construction workers union in Antakya, Turkey. Both groups are grassroots humanitarian organizations dedicated to rescuing and rebuilding after the collapse of buildings, whether by bombings or natural disasters.
This benefit runs from April 1 through May 1.
We extend our gratitude to the artists who donated works included in this benefit: Marwa Arsanios, Iman Issa, Ahmet Öğüt, Walid Raad, Christian Nyampeta, Jumana Manna, Koki Tanaka, Raqs Media Collective, Nikita Kadan, iLiana Fokianaki, Pelin Tan, Jonas Staal, Metahaven, and Maryam Tafakory.
e-flux Shop raises funds for artists and art organizations in urgent need, continuing from many benefit events e-flux has organized over the years to respond to calamities in various parts of the world. Please see below for a list of works in the benefit. If you would like to help and are unable to purchase an artwork, please share this announcement with your friends and/or on social media: all the income from each sale will go directly to relief efforts.
Thank you for your support and help in response to this catastrophe.
