Onomatopee is proud to collaborate with artist Susanne Khalil Yusef on two special editions that raise funds in support of Palestine: the publication A Mouthful of the People – Voice of Palestine and the limited-edition risograph print Detail of Mural.
Both works combine artistic practice with collective remembrance and direct support for Palestinian initiatives. All proceeds (minus production costs) from the publication and RISO print are donated to Plant een Olijfboom. They are a Dutch foundation that supports Palestinian farmers and communities through olive tree planting, sustainable agriculture, and projects that help protect Palestinian land and livelihoods.
About Susanne Khalil Yusef
