“Under Fire”: Screams, Memories, Hopes on paper from Gazan artists

AMMAN — At Darat Funun, a powerful display titled “Under Fire” presents the work of four Gaza-based artists: Basil Maqousi, Majed Shala, Raed Issa, and Sohail Salem. Despite heavy bombardments, these artists never stopped drawing. Their works, salvaged from the wreckage of war, testify to the ongoing genocidal war they are enduring. 

The display, which began on October 15, embodies Gaza’s resilience, showcasing artworks that arrived in Jordan through Egypt, passing through the Rafah border just before its closure.
