MttCoG

MttCoG is a participatory memorial project comprising a currently indefinite amount of handmade ceramic pieces: one for each child that has been killed in Gaza since the atrocious attacks of October 7, 2023. The number of pieces being made follows the underestimated statistics of Al Jazeera’s Israel-Gaza war live data tracker, collated by journalists, medical professionals and humanitarian aid workers on the ground.

The artwork invites anyone to create pieces, each referencing a small body wrapped in a white shroud; a devastating and terribly familiar visual symbol of the enormous, ongoing loss of innocent Palestinian people. Through live making sessions, MttCoG enables a great diversity of people to engage in slow and considered, yet active solidarity, contributing to a permanent memorial and forevermore being credited as a ‘maker’ of the work.
