In 2004-2005 the group, Breaking The Silence, worked with the Amer family, including five children, to paint a 8' x 40' mural on the Aparthied Wall built by Israel, that surrounds the family's home on four sides.
The father of the family told Breaking The Silence (BTS) that after the Mural was completed his children played outside for the first time in a year.
He said: “When you come here and paint with the children it makes them feel like they can live.”
Testimony to the power of art!
The children had a fantastic time
working on the mural.
This is the Palestinian and North American crew that worked on the Amer Mural. At one point during the project, the Israeli settlers living illegally next door, complained to the Israeli military that the mural was an act of incitement towards them.
This is Munira Amer standing in her doorway.
