Ms. Rachel Facilitates Sale of Children’s Artworks from Gaza

Rachel Accurso, the renowned early childhood educator known as Ms. Rachel, is championing Palestinian children’s causes through an art exhibition in New York City. She will showcase artworks by children from Gaza on January 13 at Chelsea’s Caelum Gallery in the show titled “Colors That Survived.” Twenty limited edition prints of each piece, priced at $200, will be sold with all proceeds going to the young artists. Artworks highlighted include Yara’s “Begging for Food” and Ahmed’s “House on His Back.” Accurso’s activism, fueled by her opposition to the violence in Gaza, has led to significant backlash, including being labeled a potential “Antisemite of the Year” by the platform StopAntisemitism. Despite this, she remains committed to supporting Gaza’s children, engaging in various fundraising efforts and media advocacy. Her collaboration with the film “The Voice of Hind Rajab” underscores her resolve to amplify Palestinian youth voices.
