In this post I feature a drawing made by Hussain Al Jerjawi, a young artist from Gaza (17)
Hussain is a student of Ahmed Aldaalsa from whom I showcased his work earlier.
Ahmed has been a guest artist on my website since 2024, since his exhibition in Kunstruimte het Langhuis Zwolle titled Gaza’24. Hussain is joining him there now as writer Tasneem Ayyad does too.
Hussains drawings tell the same story as Ahmed. Now the situation in Gaza is interpreted through his eyes and hands and again he gives us a glance of the situation in Gaza.
Soon both artists Ahmed and Hussain will showcase their work in a Dutch Gallery, MicksArt Collectief in Emmen. More about that soon
The situation in Gaza is pure horror. Yesterday I heard on the news that even the food aid by the Israeli – American GFH is controversial. It is used as a weapon and contributes to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war aims. People got shot and died during the distribution of (too little) food and medicine. The UN has rejected the controversial US-Israeli aid plan and is not involved.
Want to help these young artists? Soon their prints will be available but until then you can help them by donating to their Go- Funding Page, it can be found on my guestpages.
