Inspired by Josh’s geometric Palestine prints, I started layering the geometries of the country in my sketchbook: green hills, waters, keys, and red triangles of resistance, and experimented with creating my own Roman alphabet based on square Kufic Arabic (ٱلْكُوفِيّ ٱلمُرَبَّع) to write “From the river… to the sea.”
This print was part of series of five posters produced in the summer of 2024. Proceeds from the sale of this series will go to AROC, the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, and for Lamea Abuelrous, owner of one of my usual hangouts, Temo's Café in the Mission District, to support members of her family in West Gaza so that they can relocate to safety and receive medical care. Additional donations for the Abuelrous family can be made here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-gaza-family-access-medical-aid-secure-safe-departure.
