6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) artist (name not given):
“No matter how artists describe the Palestinian’s reality, they cannot capture it like the Palestinian artist who lived the genocide.”
7. VS paintings of Palestinian artists, children on wall of destroyed homes

Amidst the countless tents spreading across the Gaza Strip that bear witness to enduring hardship, this boy tries to draw the world’s attention to their suffering. He collects aid cans, and turned them into an artwork expressing the sad Palestinian reality.

The bas circumstances forced this artist to innovate with minimal resources, expressing the blockade, poverty, hunger and the genocide that left thousands of martyrs and wounded.

On the rubble of destroyed homes, the brushes of other Palestinian artists managed to paint hope in the hearts of people, aiming to rebuild their houses anew despite the blockade and hardships. They used their fingers to remind the world that these homes once pulsed with life, and those children resisted until the end.
