00:24they need to express the life they live under the war, the harsh and difficult conditions.
00:31The works, as much as they have resistance and steadfastness, as much as they have sadness,
00:36as much as they have martyrs, as much as they have the daily suffering that people live
00:42under the war in the Gaza Strip.

01:07steadfastness and the attention of the artists to whatever material they find, to whatever
01:14material they find, to be able to convey this story.
01:19There is a feeling of urgency, of speed, to be able to convey this work of theirs, the
01:27suffering they live daily, even in tents, so we feel a lot of emotions, honestly, of pain.
