 Hi Wafic,

Here's an inquiry about adding the "Resilience Flows Between US" banner to an archive of posters about Palestine.
Who was the artist?  Was it Michelle Sayles?

If so, we should ask her.

Dear Green Mountain Comrades,

 

The Palestine Poster Project Archives seeks to honor the poster artists who honor Palestine with their creativity and solidarity. May we add the name of the artist who created this poster:

 

https://www.palestineposterproject.org/posters/resilience-flows-between-us

 

Having a fully documented page for each poster - publisher, artist, dates, dimensions, translations, etc. aids Palestine's effort to have its poster art heritage recognized in the Western art canon, a major step towards the legitimization of this unique graphic tradition. You can learn more about Palestine's efforts to have its posters recognized by UNESCO's Memory of the World program here  and here.

 

We well understand that there are situations where the identity of the artist(s) could compromise their safety or that of their comrades. In those instances we list the following credit: “Deliberately/Collectively Anonymous”. If at some future time the artist(s) choose to self-identify we will gladly accommodate them. 

 

If either the artist or the publisher wishes to have their web sites listed please include the link here.

 

In solidarity,

 

Dan Walsh/PPPA

 

PS: if you are not the correct party to address this letter to but you know who is, please forward it on. Thanks.

A revolution which does not aim at changing me by changing the relations between people does not interest me; what is more, I doubt whether a revolution which does not affect me enough to transform me is really a revolution at all. The Palestinian revolution has established new kinds of relations which have changed me, and in this sense the Palestinian revolution is my revolution.
