Wall Museum

“Wall Museum”

December 22, 2011

During this Christmas season, a so-called “Wall Museum” of posters will be created on the Wall near Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem, Palestine. An initiative of the Sumud Story House/ AEI, it is designed to communicate real-life Palestinian women’s stories. The stories of suffering and oppression as well as 'sumud' (steadfastness or resilience), inner strength and cultural identity are chosen to bring out the truth of Palestinian life, which the Wall tries to hide and kill.  They are written or chosen by Palestinian women’s groups who convene at the Sumud Story House.
