Break the Silence Mural and Art Project’s year-round domestic community education and awareness building work is carried out through a combination of popular education workshops/presentations, mural projects, video projects, art exhibitions, website updates, house parties, community dialogues and arts trainings. BTS/MAP offers two workshops, in particular, on a regular basis to diverse audience in a wide variety of venues: “Art and Resistance” and “Focus on Gaza and the Wall”. All of BTS/MAP’s community presentations are dynamic, multi-media events that promote critical thinking skills and offer a window into the lives of Palestinian refugees, whose stories are largely unknown in the United States.

In the past 20 years the mission of BTS/MAP has developed to include a greater focus on the intersections between oppression of Palestinians and other oppressions around the world, particularly in the United States.

Currently BTS/MAP is working to integrate technology, new media and social networking developments into its work, with the goal of reaching more people on multiple levels.
