Poem by Wasim Kurdi Illustrated by Abdullah Qawariq Language: Arabic Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River are coasts, cities, mountains, and valleys; all are spaces of this poem, and of our friend the painter, who plays with his imagination not only with colours but with stars and jellyfish. The painter flips everything upside down, swimming with stars at the bottom of the sea and swimming with jellyfish in the vastness of space. The poem is inspired by the exhibition A People by the Sea: Narratives from the Palestinian Coast. AACB_lr_0.pdf A People by the Sea: Narratives of the Palestinian Coast
