Cover 2008 Calendar
The wall calendar features 12 months each on a 2 page
spread with 12 cartoon images by
Naji Al-Ali. Important
Palestinian dates are marked on the calendar. Size when
folded 11 inch *11 inch.
The Calendar is dedicated to the memory of
Naji Al-Ali
and
to mark the 60th year for the Palestinian Nakba (the 1948
Catastrophe). Naji is perhaps best known as the creator of
the character Handala, who is depicted as a ten-year old boy
and appeared for the first time in Al-Siyasa newspaper in
Kuwait in 1969. The figure turned his back to the viewer
from the year 1973, and clasped his hands behind his back.
“He is an icon that stands to watch me from slipping. And
his hands behind his back are a symbol of rejection of all
the present negative tides in our region.” Naji Al-Ali
Handala remains an iconic symbol of Palestinian identity and
defiance.
