Chicago Palestine Film Festival at the "On Naji al-Ali" exhibit on Saturday, April 12 at 7 p.m.

Twenty years after the assassination of Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali, the issues he sought to reveal continue to rage unchecked by the lack of a fair and peaceful agreement between the Israeli and Palestinian people. Curator Haseeb Ahmed and Around the Coyote Gallery present On Naji al-Ali, a major exhibition of politically oriented Palestinian artwork from some of the most influential contemporary artists from the Middle East. A selection of al-Ali's works from their original publications spanning two decades of bloody conflict between Israel and Palestine will be presented along with the contemporary work of New York/Ramallah based artist Emily Jacir and United Arab Emirates based artist Tarek al-Ghoussein.

Chicago Palestine Film Festival will share a film from our archives on April 12 at 7 p.m. For more information, see the Around the Coyote web site.
