New Release: A Prisoner Amidst the Ruins
Short-form reflections on the fragility of life in Gaza make up this new zine, written by Bilal Ahmed
Congratulations, Bilal Ahmed and his team on this stunning new release, available in English and Arabic. It’s very interesting to see the adaptiveness of the visual design to Arabic, whose script is so well suited to graphic artistry.
Compare these two language editions, both stunning and original.
Description
An edgy zine with a strong visual narrative to match the author’s reflections on life inside Gaza after annihilation. When nothing remains, where might a person’s roots cling? The answer: your empathy, dear Reader. Here is a voice from the future.
