Basque Demonstrators Evoke Picasso’s “Guernica” in Tribute to Gaza’s Victims

HeadlineMar 18, 2024

Protests continued around the world over the weekend, including in Dublin, Ireland, where protesters called out Leo Varadkar for joining President Biden at the White House. In San Sebastián, Spain, demonstrators rallied before lying down on the ground next to a massive banner depicting part of Picasso’s famous antiwar painting “Guernica.”

Bernardo Atxaga: “It’s so tough to be a witness to a genocide that we can do nothing about. We can just bring a grain of sand, even as a tribute.”

Other large protests were held in Chile, Norway, Australia, Jordan and across U.S. cities.
