Hafez Omar – political prisoner

“Today he may be sitting and rotting in an Israeli cell, but in 2012 Palestinian graphic designer Hafez Omar’s posters were setting the internet alight. On Facebook in particular, his simple, iconic, anonymous brown avatars in support of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel spread like wildfire. People all over social media changed their profile photos to one or other of the male or female versions.”  Middle East Monitor.

I live in Bristol, UK. I make things out of cloth, plywood, paper and other things. Sometimes I make prints.
