hi Dan,
the title is correct.
the name of the publisher is WIZO indeed but not "Women's International Zionist Organization (WIZO)"
it is Wizo - Academy for education & design, Haifa
year: 2007
there is 1 copy of the poster
Artist's statement: The poster was created during the third year of studies in Wizo academy, graphic design. The general theme of the project was "Home". The poster represents israel as a beautiful feminine body, with permanent
birth marks of the delicate territory borders.
good luck with your project,
Vera
P.S may be you should consider to call your project: "The israel-palestine poster project Archives", but it is only my opinion

Hello Vera,
Thanks so much for your swift reply.
You can see your poster at the above url.
Q: Did I get the title correct? Or is the correct title: Zion and My Name Is Vera Vakrat?
Q: What year was the HOME exhibit created?
Q: Did you print any copies?
Q: Do you care to add an "Artist's Statement"? This is text that contextualizes the poster, its meaning, your intentions, the process...etc.
best,
Dan

Hi Rasha,
Just so we are clear...the PPPA is also apolitical....completely so.
I do not take "sides". I have my own politics, of course, but the site is a library/reference site. It is not engaged as a combatant in the Palestinian-Zionist conflict.
ALL posters are treated exactly alike. ALL parties are represented to the degree they have published posters and those posters are available.
For the PPPA...the goal is to render the HOME posters comprehensible. Period.
That they feature Hebrew-only captions and have no contextualization makes them incomprehensible to the PPPA's target demographic: US high school teachers and students.
I do not want to "edit" or "package" the HOME posters...I want only to see them leveraged into presentation that will allow the messages the artists incorporated in them to be understandable to non-Hebrew speakers.
Does this make sense?
Dan

Hi Dan,
I am the curator and founder of the project. It is ongoing and I have just returned from curating more posters in Germany.
Regarding skype - let's try unannounced - if you add me as a contact I can try you when I see you online.. I can also call your landline.
Regarding adding the posters - I would like to have a short dialogue about it. I appreciate what the PPPA site is doing and my personal politics are not very far off but the home poster project is a-political in it's dispensation (not to say that individual posters don't have a political dispensation and that is of course good) so as to be inclusive.
I want to see how we can manage this and that is why I would rather we talk before making any commitments.
Best,
Yasha

Hello Yasha,
I do have a Skype account but it is impossible for me to know when I will be available.
(Even my daughter complains about this!)
So, while we try to figure out how to skype can you tell me a bit about HOME and the two Israeli exhibits?
Are you the curator?
I would like to add these posters with translations and contextualization at the PPPA site.
Possible?
best,
Dan

Hello,
I am writing regarding the HOME poster exhibits titled WIZO Academy of Design and the Holon Institute of Technology.
I would like to include all these posters in the PPPA site:
http://www.palestineposterproject.org/
I have created a new Special Collection for the HOME posters which now has three posters in it:
http://www.palestineposterproject.org/special-collection/home-internatio...
I have written to several of the artists asking for translations from Hebrew to English.
Q: Do you have translations for the Hebrew texts in these posters?
Q: Can you tell me if these posters were published/printed and whether or not copies are available?
Q: Can you tell me if the artists submitted statements/interpretations of their posters?
Q: Can you tell me if HOME has sponsored or plans to sponsor any future exhibits that feature Palestine/Israel posters and artists?
Thank you very much,
Dan Walsh, Archivist
