42] – Just World
Educational is working to help a build a better-informed US public (and a
better-informed incoming Congress) by hosting an exhibition of the work of the
talented, Ramallah-based cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh through Sat., Dec.
15. Visit https://www.thejerusalemfund.org/21159/november-cartoons.
Mohammad's art-- long known for its biting wit and sharp witness-- is now also
becoming recognized for its powerful artistic value. In the artist's
statement he composed to accompany the show, Mohammad wrote: I ask how I can
share my world, as an artist and a Palestinian, with the rest of the world’s
people? Surely, by art! I refuse to keep art only for the elite, in museums or
exhibitions. Art should elevate the people’s awareness and the artist should
carve the dark world to create beauty—like linocut. Call 202-338-1958 or email dpainter@thejerusalemfund.org.
