The Olympia-Rafah Mural Project Design Work Party

Saturday, March 8, 2008 – 1:00pm – 4:00pm – The Olympia Center, Room 200 – 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia
Bring ideas, designs, drawings, photographs to collaborate on a mural composition. We will visually develop these themes: Resistance, Reconciliation, Return, and Relationships, within the context of our mural mission:

The Olympia-Rafah Mural Project is a recognition by the people of Olympia, Washington, of the sister city relationship that exists with the city of Rafah, Palestine. Through the creation of collaborative public murals, we will express our desire for Palestinian self-determination, which is rooted in honoring the common struggles for global justice faced by marginalized people everywhere. By upholding human rights for all, we seek to break down barriers to understanding, increase visibility for Palestinian people, encourage imagination, embrace the hope and courage of Rachel Corrie, and bring people together in one voice for change.
