DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nThe Nakba as seen through lens of Palestinian artist 
 Sandra Watfa.\n\nA collection of drawings and painting\, depicting various
  aspects of Palestinian dispossession.\n\nThere have been a tsunami of boo
 ks written on the Palestinian plight: historical\, political\, sociologica
 l etc\, artist Sandra Watfa aim was to draw people's attention to the issu
 e of the country’s colonisation and oppression in a relatable way by app
 ealing to the shared emotional impact that art brings to people\, rather t
 han laborious essays\, rumination\, and theorising that can sometimes fil
 ter into the Palestine debate: Ultimately\, this is about emotions and how
  they equalise us all. By circumnavigating the Intellect\, she hopes to re
 ach people's emotions through the medium of paintings and drawings.\n\nMai
 nly using large charcoal drawings\, she produced an art book by collating 
 50 drawings\, paintings\, and a couple of poems from her collection.\n\n&n

  war in 75\, went to Greece for a year then ended up in the UK.\n\nShe was
  French educated so didn't speak any English when she got here and for tha
 t reason\, given her background\, her activism first took shape at first a
 t Art College.\n\nShe was trained in Fine Arts at City and Guilds of Londo
 n Art School under Roger De Grey and graduated in 1986.\n\nShe was honoure
