Frames of Faith by Dyala Moshtaha

Frames of Faith by Dyala Moshtaha: The project launched by Zawyeh Gallery, ‘Posters for Gaza’ aims to shed light on the ethnic cleansing and horrific massacres inflicted on the Gaza Strip demanding cease fire and the recognition of Palestinian rights to live freely on their land with dignity.

Representing a long tradition in Palestinian history, political posters were produced extensively in the seventies and the eighties by the Palestinian Liberation Organization with the contribution of Palestinian, Arab, and international artists. Posters played a crucial role then in supporting the justice of the Palestinian cause and promoting it globally, guided by freedom, dignity, resilience, and the ongoing aspiration for independence, sought by Palestinians.

Dyala Moshtaha is a Palestinian artist who was born and raised in the UAE and specializes in digital art and art direction. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins, and her Master’s Degree from the University of London, Goldsmiths. Returning to the UAE after her studies, she pursued her passion for graphic design, product design, and art direction.

Living away from her homeland, Dyala channels her creativity to forge a connection with her roots. She pays homage to Palestine in her collage and illustration work. Her works were published in Haya magazine and Jamalouki. Through her art, Dyala aims to kindle a sense of belonging and awareness, inspiring others to engage emotionally and intellectually with Palestine.
