We invite you to the exhibition opening, followed by a book launch of ‘Gaza – Unburied Bodies and Values’ by Selim Mawad. The exhibition and book will depict the daily struggles of Gazans in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, genocide through a series of satirical illustrations, statements, and research that highlight the selective application of international and humanitarian laws with impunity for the perpetrators.
Selim Mawad obtained a Master's degree in Interior Architecture from the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA). With over 25 years of experience in human rights and peace-building work across the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, he presents a collection of non-narrative stories through paintings, sketches, comic books, and articles. Through his art, Selim critically examines activism and explores the underlying reasons for violence, the resilience of people, and their will to enjoy life.
All proceeds from the sale of the artworks and the book will go toward providing scholarships for Palestinian students based in Lebanon.
