Art as Resilience
We are a global network of Jewish artists using thermal-printed stickers to reclaim our visibility in public spaces — boldly, accessibly, and together.
Our Story
The Hatikvah Sticker Collective was born from international online Jewish spaces in the wake of the national catastrophe of October 7th — a moment that ignited a renaissance of Jewish art, culture, and creative resistance. Through art, we process grief, trauma, pride, and identity, transforming emotion into action.
Rooted in the legacy of the early Bezalel School and inspired by contemporary street art activism, we bring Jewish art into the streets — where our presence cannot be ignored, erased, or rewritten. We turn public spaces into declarations of identity, belonging, and hope.
So long as we create, our hope is not yet lost.
Our
Method
With direct thermal printers — once used only for shipping labels — we’ve unlocked a radically accessible art form. What began as a practical constraint has become our visual signature: a bold black-and-white aesthetic that spreads fast and hits loud.
Inspired by the Kidnapped Poster Campaign and rooted in the legacy of the early Bezalel School alongside contemporary street art movements, our medium turns limitations into power. Thermal printing has revolutionized Jewish public messaging, making large-scale sticker production rapid, low-cost, and DIY.
With as little as $100 and a vision, anyone can print 1,000 labels and transform their neighborhood for the better
A Global Movement
We are a nondenominational, nonpartisan international collective of creatives and allies spanning the United States, Israel, Canada, Spain, Denmark, New Zealand, and the UK. We welcome all members of the vibrant Jewish community and those who stand with us.
Through this new form of mass-produced Jewish street art, we are forging a new kind of Jewish public citizen: one who asserts presence, refuses erasure, and understands that art itself is an act of resistance.
We are united in our opposition to antisemitism — and we are unapologetically Zionist.
