2024 Chicago Palestine Film Festival T-Shirt
The Chicago Palestine Film Festival (CPFF) annually showcases a diverse array of Palestinian movies and films. Each year, the CPFF collaborates with an artist or designer to create the design for their new T-shirt. I am deeply honored to have contributed to this significant celebration of Palestinian culture.
The Palestinian Kuffiyeh expresses the Palestinian connection with the land and merges with the lines of a film negative, symbolizing the interweaving of stories and narratives. Each thread of the Kuffiyeh represents a tale, a struggle, and a triumph, while the negative film strip captures moments frozen in time, to be developed and shared. Together, they depict how our stories are intricately stitched into the fabric of history, creating a collective memory and national struggle for freedom. From our heavy stories, emerges new life, symbolized by the blossoming poppies. A testament to the hope and resilience of the Palestinian people.
