Artists join brushes against Israeli wall

By: Mohamed Ali

NEW YORK: An exhibition of over 56 Palestinian, Israeli and American artists who combined pen, paint brush and camera, to protest against Israel's separation barrier ended on Thursday.

One of the organisers Eric Laursen said the Three Cities Against the Wall exhibition, held concurrently in Ramallah, Tel Aviv and New York, showcased paintings, sculptures, photographic montages and audio-visual installations that depict the barrier as "a form of oppression".

"The message is that the wall represents a form of oppression that destroys the humanity of both the oppressor and oppressed," Laursen said.

Selection for the exhibition required that artists reflect the barrier's impact on both Palestinians and Israelis.
