Dancing in Palestine Tote Bag

This tote bag has been created by cartoonist Tim Sanders for a special exhibition celebrating Palestinians lives. The exhibition, Fragments of Palestine, is presented by Newham and Tower Hamlets Palestine Solidarity Campaign and will showcase Tim's drawings and paintings recorded on his visits to Palestine. 

In Tim's words:

My aim on these visits was to portray the Palestinian people I met, trying to get on with their lives under the difficult circumstances of the Israeli Occupation. They go about what in a normal situation would be humdrum: shopping, going to work, going to and from school, visiting family etc.

Now Palestinian suffering and oppression has become immeasurably worse. A national tragedy engulfing millions.

I think seeing Palestinians as people like everyone else, trying to live their lives as most people try to do, is now even more important.’
