To the artists of the world,
We present you with a collection of photos of martyrs for freedom in Palestine at this critical stage. Martyred for the cause of life and liberty.
These martyrs had dreams, memories and a future, but one Israeli bullet was powerful enough to destroy them all in a single, devastating instant. These martyrs are the faces of the Palestinian struggle, the struggle for freedom, dignity and human rights.
We call on the world’s artisan community to enshrine these freedom fighters in our memories. We ask that each artist take a martyr’s picture and create a piece of art with it. We hope to collect these works of art and present them in an exhibition in Palestine.
If you would like to take on this project, please choose one martyr’s picture from those available and contact us at e-mail p- art@p-ol.com
We are striving to create a museum of Palestinian memory and would like you to help. The deadline to contact us is November 25, 2000.
To the children of the world,
Palestinian children have been the recent targets of the Israeli military. Everyday, Palestine loses a child and with him, she loses his dreams, his memories and the entire universe that he encapsulated. These Palestinian children call out to the world’s children to ensure that they are never forgotten, to ensure that they are forever embedded in the world’s memory.
Children, everyday you witness the ongoing Palestinian tragedy. Everyday you witness the ongoing tragedy that Palestinian children endure and the formidable threat to their lives and their future.
If you would like to take part in this effort, please create a picture/drawing in memory of these Palestinian children and send them to p-art@p-ol.com.
