Palestine day 5

Today I stayed in Ramallah and did a wall together with the local artist Majd 10 meters from the central square called Arafat Square. The sun was hot and a lot of curious people came by. After that I went to a playground with some female activists who wanted to learn how to paint a wall. They had done some political stencil graffiti before.  First I talked a bit about the many ways you can paint a mural and then they talked a lot back and forth about what to paint. In the end they came up with an idea. And painted it 15 min. before it got dark.
Tomorrow is the big Jerusalem day.
