We are doing fine in Gaza… what about you?!, Khaled El Haber, 2024
FineArt archival paper 75 x 55 cm (29.53 x 21.65 in.)
"Featured in Zawyeh Gallery’s Posters for Gaza project, Khaled El Haber’s poster contrasts the haunting image of an explosion with the unsettling phrase, “We are doing fine in Gaza, what about you?” The question, steeped in irony, highlights the cruel dissonance between daily Palestinian suffering and global indifference. Known for his politically charged music rooted in solidarity with the oppressed, El Haber extends his message visually, continuing the legacy of political posters as tools of resistance, truth, and urgent moral confrontation." [Poster available for purchase with proceeds supporting The Palestine Red Crescent Society]

Rammellzee vs. K-Rob “Beat Bop” 12” 45 rpm vinyl record sleeve, Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1983
Jean-Michel Basquiat’s history with rap music goes deeper than Jay Z’s punch lines and bragging rights. “Beat Bop,” a ten-minute sparring match between MCs/graffiti artists K-Rob and Rammellzee, which Basquiat produced in 1983, was initially released independently in a reported run of just 500 copies on Basquiat’s own Tartown Inc. imprint and features his exclusive artwork. -SPIN

Wall Climbing series by Palestinian artist Khaled Hourani, 2022
[Hourani says] he is drawn back to the subject of the separation wall as it “condenses the meaning of 'occupation' that continues to disrupt our lives,” but also it is growing “taller in Palestine and elsewhere in the world.” Hourani demands the building of all kinds of walls stop, “My inner voice asserts: Stop the walls so I can stop painting them.” –from Leaping Over the Barrier exhibition press release at Zawyeh Gallery
