Colors of Resilience by Issam AlYamani and Jude Barakat is a powerful collection of drawings created by Palestinian children during the First Intifada (1987–1993). These drawings are firsthand accounts that preserve the voices, hopes, fears, and resilience of children living through extraordinary circumstances of the First Intifada.
In collaboration with Issam Alyamani, TPFF is please to have on display a selection of the original drawings featured in the book. Together, they form both a cultural archive and a moving tribute to the enduring strength of Palestinian children.
