Description

What does freedom look like from inside an Israeli prison?

The walls of the cell are etched with the names of the prisoners who came before. A bird perches on the cell window and offers a deal: "You bring the pencil, and I will bring the stories," stories of family, of community, of Gaza, of Palestine.

Power Born of Dreams by Mohammad Sabaaneh uses striking linocut artwork to help the world see Palestinian people as human, not as superheroes or political symbols.
