Join us for the launch of honak honak… ba’idan fil-lawn (Way Out There in the Faraway Colour), a collection of illustrated stories for children, published by the Palestinian Museum. Across six stories, Laila and Yazan take us on a journey to colourful worlds filled with wonder and amazement. We’ll see Fatema’s wondrous swans and meet Yazan’s invisible friend, Mr Pillow. We’ll discover how a turtle flipped on its back thousands of years ago and became a fossil. We’ll also journey with Laila and Yazan across Palestine’s towns and villages through their wonderful never-ending book.

The event will include a discussion with the story writers and illustrator, followed by a hands-on activity for children.

This collection of stories is inspired by the interactive family space accompanying the Printed in Jerusalem: Mustamloun exhibition. The space was organised in collaboration with A.M. Qattan Foundation’s Science Studio to produce two of the space’s six interactive stations: “Tinkering at the Printing Press” and “Journeys”.
