Against by Haneen Nazzal

Against by Haneen Nazzal: 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.

Haneen Nazzal is a visual artist based between Palestine and Tunisia. Her practice focuses on art’s role in liberation movements and indigenous identity. She holds a BA degree in architecture from Al-Najah National University in Nablus, in 2014. Her multidisciplinary art practice combines illustration, calligraphy, animation, poster art, and experimental design. ​Through initiatives and collaborations with community organizations, she actively advocates for decolonization, social justice, and human rights, encouraging a comprehensive understanding of the Palestinian cause.
