• "Visit Palestine" from 1936 – allows us to examine in detail the development of the Palestine poster genreand how posters reflect the history of Palestine-Israel and the visual language that memorializes the events,symbols, and images of Palestine. The "Visit Palestine" poster was made in 1936 for theTourist Development Association of Palestine by Franz Krausz, an Austrian Jewish immigrant to Palestinein the 1930s who fled Germany before the Holocaust. After a series of re-prints, however,the print took on a life of its own amongst Palestinians when it became popular in the 90s in the wake of Oslo.

Poster by Amer Shomali in 2009, places the Israeli separation wall in front of the viewer.

The wall, built in the 1990s and 2000s runs through the West Bank, effectively absorbingIsraeli settlements into Israel and limiting access of West Bank Palestinians to Jerusalem except through
a number of restrictive checkpoints. Shomali writes, "After the failure of the peace processit was the time for a third print declaring the failure of the previous two prints."

This remix of "Visit Palestine" suggests an imagined landscape.
