About Us
The Art Forces Peacemaker Gallery
Born of a continued desire to act in new ways upon the mission of the Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural:
​
to make hidden histories visible
​
We are the only gallery in the Pacific Northwest that exclusively features artworks dedicated to a diversity of erased and forgotten histories, curated through a lens of political critique and the pursuit of social justice as a practice of community building and healing.
​
Located in the historic Labor Temple building in downtown Olympia, Washington, home of the Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural Proejct.

About The Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural Project
Co-produced by Art Forces and the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice.
Through art we aim to build relationships across movements, cultures and great distances, and to honor those who have lost their lives striving for liberation. We seek to strengthen and make more visible the efforts of many who dare to imagine a different world.
​
The project began in 2006 to honor the life and aspirations of Rachel Corrie through action and organizing for a better world. Rachel was from Olympia and was murdered in Gaza in 2003 when she was run over by an Israeli driven bulldozer that was attempting to demolish the home of a Palestinian pharmacist.
​
Located at the corner of State and Capital in Olympia WA, this 4,000 sq.ft. interdisciplinary mural moves from the local to the global and was made possible by the collective effort of more than 200 groups and individuals from around the world.
