Description
Walk along the separation barrier that cuts through the West Bank to see the colourful street artworks, many contributed by famous graffiti artists like Banksy.
This online experience will take you to places in the city far away from the touristic chaos. The walls you will see are full of political art depicting angst in the people's hearts, covered with slogans and references to major political events. As we walk by them all, you will hear interesting stories like the one about Jorit Agoch and Salvatore De Luise, the two Italian artists who were arrested under the charges of vandalism for painting a gigantic mural of Palestinian activist Ahed Tamini. They revoked their visas and were banned from visiting Israel for 10 years.
Additionally, we will chat about various issues ranging from daily life in Palestine to the current situation, the conflict, and the future for peace in the region.
