We Will Remain: Street Art as Resistance - from San Francisco to Palestine Join this Virtual Delegation to discuss art as resistance. Artists are using public spaces to showcase their powerful artwork and messages of resistance. Learn from Palestinian artists about their work, challenges they face in creating these public art pieces, and why they choose this powerful form of expression. Also learn more about Israel's apartheid wall and why it has become a canvas for important artist resistance. In partnership with Eyewitness Palestine ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chris Gazaleh is an artist from San Francisco dedicated to promoting cultural, political, and social awareness from a Palestinian-American perspective that is rooted in social justice. Gazaleh uses many mediums to create and spread his art to the world. From murals to illustrations and from graffiti style pieces to clothing designs, Gazaleh's art is meant to come from all angles. Born in San Francisco and full blooded Palestinian, C. Gazaleh is a cross cultural anomaly. Like the poet Mahmoud Darwish said “Ana min huna, ana min hounak” I am from here, I am from there. ---------- Baha Hilo is a native Palestinian born and raised in the town of Bethlehem.
