Art and Palestinian embroidery exhibition in Muscat
The ‘Hanthala of Palestine, Naji Al-Ali’s Line and Thread’ exhibition is being held in Muscat and celebrates the powerful symbolism of the late Palestinian cartoonist Naji Al-Ali’s work, alongside the traditional Palestinian embroidery of artist Safaa Surour.
Naji, one of the most significant Palestinian artists, was renowned for his bold political cartoons, with his iconic character ‘Hanthala’ becoming a symbol of Palestinian struggle and resilience. The character, a barefoot child with his back turned to the world, represents silent protest and unwavering hope in the face of oppression. Initially drawn in 1969, ‘Hanthala’ became synonymous with Naji’s artistic signature and continues to embody the Palestinian people’s fight against occupation.
