Description |
Poster showing photograph of keffieyeh with three peace sign pins, the larger of which has a white background and the two smaller ones having a bright pink and green ground, repsectively. The photographic poster was created by Rajie Cook (1930-2022), an internationally known graphic designer, photographer and artist who resided in Washington Crossing, PA. Rajie was the son of Najeeb and Jaleela Cook from Ramallah, Palestine. This poster is an expression of the artists' deeply felt concern for human rights and the conditions in the Middle East. It was created to articulate the circumstances and experiences he encountered during the ten years he served on the Task Force for the Middle East, a group sponsored by the Presbyterian Church, USA. With this group he traveled on fact-finding trips to Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. |
