2013 – Annexe Galery Central Market
An awareness programme for Palestine in the form of an exhibition was organised at the Central Market, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s center for artwork and handicraft. Highlighted was Handala, a cartoon figure symbolising the Palestinians’ right of return since their forced exodus on 15 May 1948. Handala is one of the main characters in over 40,000 cartoons created by the late political cartoonist Mr Naji al Ali.
Dr Zulaiha Ismail, PGPF Trustee moderated a dialogue between a Palestinian Embassy representative to Malaysia, Palestinian Cultural Organisation Chairman and a former PGPO activist. Award winning documentaries and movies such as Tears of Gaza and the 5 Broken Cameras were also scheduled for screening.
