Description
A blank A6 greeting card with a print of a Palestinian History Tapestry embroidery panel depicting Gaza rooftops.
Palestinian refugees were expelled or fled from their land during and after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Further mass exodus followed the 1967 ‘Six-Day War’, when Israel occupied the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula (Egypt), the Golan Heights (Syria), the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Refugee camps were established in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Since June 2002, Israel has been constructing an 8-9 metre high ‘apartheid wall’, which stretches for more than 700 kilometres, incorporating strategically-placed watchtowers.
The card comes with a blank white envelope and a cellophane sleeve.
Design: Inspired by Palestinian artist Adham Jaber (Hirbiya) of Gaza
Embroidery: Hekmat Ashour from Gaza
