Naji / 1st Movement (Rust, Dust, Pink, and Roses)
When Naji al-'Ali was 10 years old, he and his family were forcefully expelled from al-Shajara, a village located between Tiberias and Nazareth. They ended up in refugee camps in Lebanon. In his early 20s, he started publishing his cartoons focusing on Palestinian and Arab issues, which got him tangled with every country in the region, leading to several arrests. Dust, Rust, Pink and Roses explores the realities in Naji’s life, rusty and dusty, and his ability to remain true to mirroring what Palestinians go through. His drawings are all in black and white, yet he always projected colors expressing resilience and hope, and pink and roses.
