This issue is very important to me because I am very interested in international relations specifically associating those relations to the topic of security and regional stability. The Israeli and Palestinian conflict hits close to home for me because I have close friends that have grown up in that region specifically in both Isreal and Palestine and I feel I can offer a unique perspective into the issues both sides share. By learning more about the conflict and researching it I believe that I can help shine a light on the issues at hand by not only speaking about it but also expressing the problem through art. While history has taught us to believe that Israel and Palestine are mortal enemies when you peel back the layers and examine closely the relationships and cultures of both these individual states it is clear that they need each other to survive. Israel needs Palestinian organizations such as Hamas to keep larger threats to Israeli security and culture at bay and Palestine needs Isreal in order to obtain critical support for infrastructure. Without each other, both will fail
Activism is very important especially for an intervention project such as this, artists and activists are vital in getting voices heard and hopes made realities. Nobody wants to fight the middle east is tired and wants peace, we must be the champions of peace and freedom. A project such as mine will allow for those on social media to have a say in this matter and easily get involved in advocacy as well as in art. The guerrilla girls have stated through their artwork " One is not enough" and I agree with that message. One action or one voice is not enough to start a movement but it is enough to begin recruitment. Gather all you can for a just cause and you can change the world. By sharing this on my social media I can reach unlimited hights in spreading the message of peace between Israel and Palestine.
