Artist's Comments
This painting was created under the collaboration of Mariah Rashed (the drawer) and me.
Handala is a very important symbol of the struggle of palestinian people that was painted by Naji Al Ali. It symbolies the refugee issue, the character's face was never painted. It never looks to the audience, it will only when the palestinian people will have their freedom back. Handala is being always taken as a little boy. I believe that Handala as the character that was done by Naji Al Ali had no gender, but because of the patriarchy it was seen as a boy. I suggested to my friend Mariah, in our struggle as palestinian feminists to paint handla as a girl, but of course to still keep the original idea of Naji, in sign of respect to him. I wanted to say that women should have part of our political struggle againist the zionest occupation, not only men! I have the right to see Handala as a woman too! |

By the way, handala had a female partner(can be seen here [link] , besides "Fatma", Yet she’s not as famous as he is.
It’s a matter of common thinking : in the Palestinian revolution the guy is a revolutionary, and the role of the female is to wait for him next to his dungeon, or weep at his grave.
The allegory of Palestine is always expressed as the waiting woman, a kidnapped woman who waits for the “Hero” to restore her. From this Ideological soil the “male” Hanzala has spurred. This unspoken sexual chauvinism finds expression in the whole “refusal” culture, starting from modaffar al nawwabs poetry
"القدس عروس عروبتكم
فلماذا أدخلتم كل زناة الليل إلى غرفتها
ووقفتم تسترقون السمع على أبواب بكارتها"
Passing through the whole revolutionary cultural Arab scene
Lenin once said “if you dig deeper under the revolutionary’s peels, you’ll see he’s a rotten Regressist ”
