ABOUT

ABOUT VP

Visualizing Palestine (VP) was established in 2012, and is dedicated to using data and research to visually communicate Palestinian experiences to provoke narrative change. VP envisions a liberated future for Palestinians in a world free from oppression.

Legal Structure

Visualizing Palestine is a project of Visualizing Impact, which is registered as a non-profit organization in Canada. We have a fiscal sponsor in the U.S. called Empowerment Works, INC., EIN 31-1796801

Theory of Change

Visualizing Palestine’s theory of change is centered on narrative change. We believe that dominant narratives serve to obscure, justify, and perpetuate oppressive power structures in society. Visualizing Palestine is dedicated to creating narrative interventions that shift these power dynamics, making Palestinian narratives more visible, widely accessible, and powerful as part of wider anti-colonial and anti-racist narratives.

We have adopted what we call a “narrative wave approach,” in which we work to build momentum to move specific narrative goals through a range of tactics, interventions, and partnerships.

For more information about our theory of change, the conditions we believe must be in place in order to realize our vision, our narrative goals, and more on our 2023-2025 strategic plan, click here.

It is so invigorating to watch our new generations who constantly continue to prove Golda Meir’s wishful thinking that “the old will die and the young will forget” so very wrong and stupid. A big salute to this amazing initiative that deserves all our admiration and unconditional support. Well done Visualizing Palestine team.

Simply necessary, because the status quo is intolerable. We need the public opinion to put pressure on the international community to enforce international laws. We all have an individual and collective responsibility to protect each other and ensure human rights. Let the truth come to light.

Visualizing Palestine documents all sources used. That contributes to the transparency of the research done by the VP team. Reliable infografics data furthermore strengthens the arguments that I bring forward when sharing VP visualizations. VP combines precise research with appealing storytelling. Stories to be told are illustrated by confidable infographics based on facts. Thank you Visualizing Palestine for providing me with an important and useful means to share information on Palestine.
