The wall in Ramallah, West Bank.
Click to zoom in the image to see the writings on the wall.

I visited The Art Academy of Palestine on wednesday. After being just a virtual academy for few years they settled in a very nice building in Ramallah.

I am planning to go to Hebron next week because the situation with the Jewish settlers is getting really hostile. If I want to see action.

Clownery can save the world?

East-Jerusalem was today a stage for two clowns from Italy.
The Arab neighborhood gathered around to see these clowns to perform ordinary clonery tricks. There is hardly any cultural activity in East Jerusalem that is mostly populated by Arab population. But indeed there is interest for it. These two clowns were a metaphor of emancipation; since emancipation can come in many disguises. Stupid clowns haven't forgot the repressed audience of East-Jerusalem.
