Marking the 37th anniversary of the glorious First Intifada, we unveil the works of the four artists who founded the "New Visions" group 35 years ago: Vera Tamari, Suleiman Mansour, Tayseer Barakat, and Nabil Anani.
The group was established in 1989 amidst the First Palestinian Intifada, a period when everything echoed a call for freedom. During this monumental era, an entire people rose above their profound wounds, united in declaring: "No voice rises above the voice of the Intifada".
These four artworks were created in a time of war like no other and became the cornerstone of the Palestinian Museum's permanent exhibition. They will remain on its walls as a testament of gratitude to the artists who led a movement of renewal, drawing strength from their people's rich heritage.
The creation of these works also involved young artists and volunteers from the Faculty of Art, Music, and Design at Birzeit University, in a strategic partnership where the university provided students, spaces, workshops, and equipment. This initiative embodied the spirit of 'aouna' (assistance) and voluntary social solidarity, which formed the essence and core of the First Intifada.
