Heba Zagout's art is so touching and beautiful you can feel her yearing and her hope. I'm so heartbroken that I didn't know her before her death. I keep looking at her work everyday and think about her and every artist in gaza and the children that are drawing under airstrikes everytime I look at my art supplies and see children schools with cute drawings on the buildings and doves because she always drew doves.

It will grow | Maen Hammad, 24 October 2023.

From the photographer: My Teta, the mother of apricots, always holds my hand as she tours me around her land allowing me to harvest eight decades of indigenous knowledge. I visited a few weeks ago, before being two checkpoints away meant total closure.

My Teta doesn't waste anything, you see. Months earlier, she had used the skin and seeds of a previous watermelon as compost for her lemongrass and sage. This watermelon is special. She saw the seed germinate and continued to nurture it as if it were one of her children.

For decades, the watermelon has stood as a symbol of Palestinian resistance. When the Israeli regime occupied the West Bank and Gaza, my Teta's land, they banned public display of the Palestinian flag. In response to facism, Palestinians used fruit. Carrying sliced watermelons during demonstrations as an expression of our liberation movement. The fruit's flesh and seeds mirror those of our flag, mirror those of our land.

Watermelon season passed months ago. However, my Teta doesn't waste anything, you see. It is dying and soon will become dehydrated from winter's siege. Its seeds will rest between pockets of red soil, but next harvest it will grow.

And it will grow.

Until our flag is raised on the sniper towers surrounding our towns, and this watermelon can return to become just simply, a fruit.

Kamal Boullata (1942-2019) Kun Fa Yakun (Be and It Is), 2008. Acrylic on canvas, 150 x 150 cm.

"According to Palestinian artist Steve Sabella, who was a good friend of Boullata’s: “He ventured towards light in his paintings, and once said that the light of Jerusalem is perhaps what he had been always attempting to capture . . . Though the pain of him losing Palestine, his homeland, was so great, he channeled that anguish through his art and writing and ultimately, everything he produced was about light and transcendence.”

samia halaby is a palestinian american artist, activist, educator and scholar. she was born in al quds/jerusalem in 1936 during the british mandate, and her family was displaced from yafa/jaffa in the nakba in 1948¹. she is a famed abstract artist² and leftist/marxist palestinian liberation activist who has recently been silenced by her alma mater indiana university³. she has documented palestinian art in her scholarly work, including in liberation art of palestine⁴.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

in her own words, how art is a "symptom" of society⁵:

You know, I can make a banner and a poster. Does that change what Rockefeller is going to decide to do with this money next year? No. Does that stop him from giving $4 billion to Israel? No matter how hard I try, or how often I walk the streets and demonstrate. But art is a flowering of society. It’s not the other way around.

The Impressionists are really amazing. Take note that they are popular and beloved by everybody. Which is not artificial – people really admire them, not because they’re sweet and fruity, but because they recognize in them the first step away from praising the ruling class, to praising the middle class and even the worker. By the time you get to some of the French Cubists, like [Fernand] Léger and the early Constructivists, you see clear praise of the worker and a growing focus on the general and on abstraction. To me, abstraction is an efflorescence of working class revolution.

reblog with your favorite of samia's works is!

my favorite is twin sine waves, made in 1972.

So for those that don't know, Iceland nominated Bashar Murad, an LGBT Palestinian artist for Eurovision this year and he already THOROUGHLY ATE. Ate like Jesus ate on the cross. Beautiful allegory for leaving home in hard times, and the visuals are iconic and stunning, beautiful use of colour. I need to do a deep dive on this guy and wanted to share! 🍉💖🍉💖
