You're Invited to View the "Expressions of Nakba" On-Line Gallery

US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation

Today, on the 60th anniversary of the Nakba, the expulsion and dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes and land in 1948, the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation invites you to view our "Expressions of Nakba" on-line gallery.

Earlier this year, the US Campaign solicited entries for a multi-media arts competition to commemorate the Nakba. We received more than 300 outstanding entries from 16 different countries in the following categories: visual arts, poster design, audio, digital media, and written word.

A distinguished 17-person jury reviewed the entries and the US Campaign is pleased to announce the winning entries in four of the five categories (results for the written word competition will be announced shortly):
