Dear Vijay,
I hope this finds you well and safe in these surreal and dangerous times.
What a timely and profound article you wrote. I have sent the link out to many of the PPPA's viewers.
We Are in Palestine, Habibi, and Palestine Is Heaven: The Twenty-Seventh Newsletter (2020)
https://www.thetricontinental.org/newsletterissue/27-palestine/
I write to ask a few archival questions about a graphic featured in the article:
https://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/solidarity-with-palestine-remix
Can you:
1) Send us the complete jpeg, showing the entire image?
2) Tell us who the artist is for this remix?
3) Clarify for us the author of the original poster? We have Berta Abelenda listed and we have at least one independent source for that attribution. The article lists Rolando Cordova we are happy to change it as what matters is that we get it right.
The PPPA has special collections for all the Palestinian artists whose works are featured in the article and we have forwarded the Tricontinental link to all of them.

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.

Dear Dan,
Apologies for the delay. Thanks for your generous message.
Is a good question you raise, I see that it is cited as Berta Abelend on the Palestine Poster Project website (https://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/le-15-mai) but I also can't confirm for sure, since it's not available on OSPAAAL own website.
I did find the attached image of the poster being sold online, and in the right corner, you can see the credit to Rolando. I don't have full certainty beyond this.
I did the remix of the image, I've attached the images in some formats.
Stay well.
Warmly,
Tings Chak.
