Najawa, A Story of Palestine: Zine Edition

"Najawa: A Story of Palestine" is a 45’ long comic piece created by artist Michelle Sayles in the summer of 2015. The comic tells the story of a Palestinian woman’s life in decade snapshots as she navigates her country under occupation, ending with a vision of future liberation. The story synthesizes together oral history, documentary, and media accounts of life in occupied Palestine to raise awareness about the history of the ongoing Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Check out this awesome video of the artist explaining more about each panel:

This street comic, created by Michelle Sayles in collaboration with Jen Berger, was displayed at Burlington, Vermont's art extravaganza weekend, Art Hop, September 11 & 12, 2015. The South End Art attracts over 30,000 visitors to artist’s studios and local businesses that become exhibition sites for the more than 500 participating artists. http://seaba.com/art-hop/ Michelle Sayles website: https://mikasa423.wordpress.com Vermonters For a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel: http://www.vtjp.org/wordpress http://www.vtjp.org
