IFY Projects Paintings from Yibna We feel very privileged to have received 34 art works direct from Gaza, created under the harsh conditions where people struggle to find food and where art materials are even more scarce. We immensely treasure these art pieces expressing the artists' feelings, horrors, thoughts as well as their dreams. In all defiance of the siege the 34 pieces of artwork reached London. Most of the artists are from Yibna refugee camp in Rafah, Gaza. The plan is to exhibit the artwork across the UK and at the end of the year to sell the art pieces, either based on reserved bids or an end-of-tour auction. 100% of the price will go to the artists. We plan to produce a catalogue including info about the artists including their personal stories, life under siege, and the background to the work.
