Charity custom "Free Palestine" weed grinder

This piece is more than just a grinder for weed it carries an important message.

During Capital Pride in Ottawa, I created this one-of-a-kind hand-painted grinder as part of a collective action with Pride Not Prejudice, a group of queer artists using creativity to speak out against injustice.

When Capital Pride chose to delete its message of public support for Palestine, our community pushed back. Instead of pulling out of the event, we decided to show up louder — with art that speaks.

I painted this grinder with two symbols that represent solidarity with Palestine:

🍉 The watermelon, a quiet yet powerful symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance.

🖤 The keffiyeh pattern, representing cultural heritage, resilience, and unity.

Every detail was hand-painted and sealed with a glossy, heat- and alcohol-resistant epoxy for lasting protection.

And because art should do something, not just say something 100% of proceeds from this piece were donated to ANERA.org to help provide humanitarian aid in Gaza.

This piece became more than just a grinder — it’s a small reminder that Cannabis is political. Art is political. Queerness is political. Genocide is political. And that even a smallest actions can have big impacts. 💝
