Curator's note: "Zarrafeh" (giraffe) is the colloquial Arabic term Palestinians use to describe an excavator
In this poster, which is a remix of Franz Krausz's 1936 poster "Visit Palestine", the artist has replaced the tree with the excavator

I can't directly promote sales cause the PPPA is my graduate thesis project but I already added your name and a direct link to your poster page. Someone sent me a jpeg ...no name... I get so many Palestine works in every week...hundreds, can you believe it? The name "Visit Palestine" is already taken and to have two identical titles is a library science no-no. We need a "unique identifier" so people will know the difference between the two posters. What do you suggest we do? http://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/visit-palestine-girafa in solidarity, Dan On May 29, 2011, at 10:41 PM, Meera Sethi Creative wrote: Hi Dan, Thanks for the compliments!
