New Book Puts Palestinian Street Art Against The Wall
New photographs from the Palestinian territories highlight the suffering, the lives torn apart by relentless fighting, and appeal to a hope for a brighter day.
A new book by London based journalist and photographer, William Parry, explores the relationship between art and politics in Palestine. A series of poignant photos capture the essence of a quiet, stoic rebellion — the graffiti that adorns Israel's wall. The spirit of resistance portrayed in Parry's book, Against The Wall, is compelling, and haunting in its very existence, exposing an open wound that seems unlikely to heal any time soon.
With photographed work by iconic artists including Banksy and Ron English alongside work by Palestinian artists and activists, Against The Wall is an exercise in documenting solidarity and rebellion, acts that have become somewhat of a rarity in the modern day. The artworks adorning the wall highlight the suffering in Palestine; the lives torn apart by relentless fighting, and appeal to a hope for a brighter day, to the end of darkness. Alongside the images of street art are moving portraits and powerful prose that further accentuate the spirit of the people, and their constant struggle against a myriad of injustices.
