Nonviolence International mourns the loss of Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour, whose art became a powerful expression of Palestinian identity, memory, and resistance. 🇵🇸

For more than five decades, Mansour captured the land, history, and everyday life of Palestine through his work. His paintings became a symbol of resilience and a way of preserving Palestinian heritage.

His legacy reminds us that art can be a powerful form of nonviolent resistance.

What occurs when cutting your hair becomes a form of protest?

In 2022, supporters in Canada cut their hair in solidarity with the Woman, Life, Freedom movement following the death of Jina Mahsa Amini. By turning a personal act into a public one, protesters challenged control over women’s bodies and expressed solidarity with those resisting repression in Iran.

This week, we're exploring how hair can become a powerful symbol of bodily autonomy, solidarity, and nonviolent resistance.

What does it mean to resist by simply standing together holding hands?

Human chains have long served as a powerful nonviolent tactic. People linking arms across streets, borders, cities, and even countries to make a collective stand visible. From the Baltic Way of 1989, where roughly two million people joined hands across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to demand independence, to more recent chains formed for climate action and civil rights, this tactic turns unity into a message.

This week, we're looking at human chains as a beautiful form of solidarity and a powerful tool of resistance.

What happens when a pilgrimage becomes a form of protest?

In 2026, Buddhist monks and supporters took part in Sri Lanka’s Walk for Peace, a seven-day pilgrimage from Anuradhapura to Colombo. Walking approximately 200 kilometers, participants promoted peace and nonviolence, turning a traditional spiritual practice into a public demonstration for social harmony.

This week, we're exploring how pilgrimage can become a form of nonviolent action through collective movement and public presence.

Mock funerals have long been used by movements to dramatize the "death" of a decision, policy, leader, or system. The symbolism is hard to ignore as it forces onlookers to confront loss, urgency, and consequence in a way that words alone can't.

This week, we're exploring how mock funerals have become a powerful form of nonviolent resistance, helping movements visualize injustice, provoke reflection and draw media attention to causes that might otherwise go unnoticed.

What happens when a simple photo becomes a powerful symbol?📸

During the 2024 protests in Kenya, demonstrators shared photos of peaceful marches using hashtags like and . By posting images in real time and changing profile pictures, participants amplified their message, mobilized new supporters, and kept public attention focused on the movement.

This week, we're exploring how social media photo campaigns have become a powerful form of nonviolent action, helping movements build solidarity, spread awareness, and inspire participation far beyond the streets.

When an absurd candidate steps up, it's rarely just a joke. It's nonviolent resistance dressed as comedy to expose absurd rules, mock corrupt systems and make a serious point without raising a fist.

From a mock party built on “cockroaches” to one campaigning for pure nihilism, the tactic is the same. It aims to exaggerate the system until its absurdity is impossible to ignore. Instead of relying on violence and confrontation, it employs satire sharp enough to expose what protest signs sometimes can't.

Sometimes the best way to resist is the one that makes you laugh first, then think twice.
