Gaza

In 2025, the face of British protest is not restricted to teenagers or students. At a time when life is hard enough for young people, the middle-aged, elderly and retired are willing to join the fight for Palestine, for the climate, for anti-racism and against far-right demonstrators. These are the power pensioners fighting peacefully, for freedom and our future.

We speak to three Palestinians documenting their everyday lives on Instagram and TikTok. From getting hold of wifi and charging their phones, to the simple act of cleaning their homes – this is their reality.

This week, Palestinian art was projected onto the exterior walls of London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, which has been criticised by activists for its funding. THE FACE headed down to find out what’s going on.

Artists such as King Krule, FKA twigs and Ramy Youssef performed at the poignant London fundraiser on the UK's election day.

Over 120 artists have pulled out in solidarity with Palestine due to Barclays’ sponsorship of the Brighton festival. THE FACE speaks to five music acts who’ve decided to not perform.

On Tuesday, we spoke to students in New York about why they’re demonstrating. Hours later, officers in riot gear arrested dozens of protesters.
