Join us for the U.A.E launch of Visualizing Palestine: A Chronicle of Colonialism & the Struggle for Liberation. Several years in the making, this publication brings together 10 years of data-driven infographics that shed light on the experience of living under occupation, as well as contextualising its history. Over the years, VP has created referential infographics on access to water in Palestine, the experiences of political prisoners, and the history of conflicts in Gaza among others. Their  most recent infographic series ‘Gaza in context’ brings together information vital to understanding the ramifications and mechanisms of the ongoing genocide.

To mark the launch of Visualizing Palestine: A Chronicle of Colonialism & the Struggle for Liberation, VP co-founder Ramzi Jaber will be diving deeper into the book’s contents and making, as well as discussing VP’s ongoing work.

Visualizing Palestine: A Chronicle of Colonialism & the Struggle for Liberation will be available for sale at the event and can be purchased through the Art Jameel Shop.
