I'm a big fan of your work, and think it's an amazing project. I'm very interested in acquiring a poster print of a certain iconic poster, Bride of of the Homeland (http://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/bride-of-the-homeland) by Mansour. I was named after Leena/Lina represented in the poster, and grew up with the poster hanging proudly at my grandparents' walls, but the poster has disappeared in recent years, and I really would like to have it at my house, and all attempts to find it have failed. (It's amazing, I think, and sad, that what would have been clearly recognized easily in Jerusalem a few years ago seems so unfamiliar now). Any way, I would really appreciate any suggestions. Again, thank you for the wonderful work, and please let me know if I can help (I'm fluent in Arabic and Hebrew if you ever need translation help). Best Leena Dallasheh
