Palestine: The Graphic Novel

A child cries, a father mourns, houses are demolished here and there, olive trees uprooted and merciless soldiers kill yet amidst all the chaos and death Palestinians manage to survive.

A glitter of hope ... can be seen in their eyes ...

Can we capture that glitter of hope using words and images?

We've all read Joe Sacco's amazing Palestine that fused the art of comics with journalism crafting a new level of creative storytelling.

Now is the time to create our own Palestine.

Writers, fiction writers and poets, illustrators, colorists, letterers and artists will meet together to create their own bilingual collective graphic novel about Palestine or as we call in Arabic [فلسطين].

These creative individuals will express with their own words and lines their visions of Palestine.

Once each artist submits his/her comic story an exhibition that consists from the panels and art produced will be held at The Studio during which the graphic novel will be launched and all proceeds from its sale will go to a charity in Palestine.

The launch of فلسطين- Palestine: The Graphic Novel will take place at The Studio on November 6th at 7:00 p.m.
