Untitled by Tayseer Barakat
Featured in Zawyeh Gallery’s Posters for Gaza, this poster highlights the ethnic cleansing and massacres in Gaza, demanding a ceasefire and Palestinian rights. Political posters have a deep history in Palestinian activism, supporting justice and independence. Born in Gaza in 1959, Tayseer Barakat studied art in Alexandria, Egypt, and is now based in Ramallah. Known as one of Palestine’s leading artists, he works with various media but favors painting. His art draws from Palestine’s ancient heritage and oral traditions, often using a monochrome palette that adds a somber tone to his powerful work.
