Go!

The Lemkin Institute is calling on artists of all kinds to donate artwork for our new MERCH initiative to help us stay afloat while ensuring our independence from the agendas of governments and large foundations. If your artwork is chosen, we will of course credit you as well as add you to a new artists' page on our website and recognize you on social media. You can help prevent genocide while also getting exposure!
