A Million Words Against Fascism.

If a picture tells a thousand words, what do a thousand artists create? A million words, each told from a unique perspective, forming an international touring exhibition against fascism.

Concept and purpose

A thousand young artists. A million words against fascism.

A Million Words Against Fascism project artwork

If a picture tells a thousand words, a thousand artists create a million words. The exhibition brings those voices together as an international response to the rise of far-right and fascist ideologies.

By June 2026, the Solidarity Park Project will have facilitated more than 1,000 visual artworks by young people through its porthole education initiative about the Spanish Civil War, the International Brigades, and the lessons of international solidarity.

The 2027 tour builds toward the 90th anniversary of the sinking of the Ciudad de Barcelona on 30 May 2027, the story that helped launch Association Solidarity Park's work in art, memory, and education.
