Zeinab in one of the few residents of Balata Refugee Camp who remembers not being a refugee. Most people in Balata are originally from Yaffa and other villages on the Mediterranean coast which are now part of Israel. 70 years ago, when Israel was founded, many arabs left their villages to go to the West Bank and Gaza. They are still considered as refugees to this day, and they are still waiting to return home, many of them having kept the keys to their front doors. However, home is a place which only the old folk who still have a good memory remember. And that number is starting to decrease rapidly. . #Palestine #Filastin #WestBank #BalataCamp #Balata #Portrait #arab #grandmother #arabwoman #refugee #refugeecamp #UNRWA #بلاطة #فلسطين #مخيمبلاطة

Helwa chose the word "Karamah" (=Dignity). She works for the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) which manages the 4 local schools in Balata Camp, and all the other schools in Palestinian refugee camps. After Donald Trump decided to decrease UNRWA funding last January, the organisation is trying to raise funds to allow Palestinian children to get free education. The campaign is called "Dignity is Priceless", and Helwa wanted to bring people's attention on the importance of educating the next generation of Palestinians. #streetart #graffiti #dignity #DigntityIsPriceless #SebToussaint #ShareTheWordProject #Nablus #Balata #Palestine #Filastin #MiddleEast #design #pattern #floralpattern #floraldesign #patterns #painting #mural #arteurbano #urbanart #art #contemporaryart #urbancontemporaryart #RefugeeCamp #Refugee #refugees #UNRWA #flowers #contemporaryurbanart #muralart #urbanart

"CONQUERANTS" (=Conquerors) I designed this for @smcaen , the football club of my hometown which I've been supporting since I were a child. Yesterday SM Caen played against @psg in the club's first ever french cup semi-final. It was a thrilling game against one of Europe's top clubs, and our players made everyone in Normandy feel proud, by fighting hard and not giving up. Even though we lost in the end, the players showed that Normans still have William The Conqueror's spirit in them! #Normandy #Normandie #Conquerants #Conqueror #SMCaen #Caen #tifo #Malherbe #StadeMalherbe #football #stade #stadium #SMCPSG #coupedefrance #SebToussaint #design #art #contemporaryart #letters #fonts #patterns #Normands
