The Arab spring has not only revolutionized street art but also inspired Palestinian artists to use city walls for creative political statements and to address social taboos — especially in Ramallah on the West Bank.
”Get mad — let the world know you are a magician, not bewitched” reads the text of street art in Ramallah by artist Hamza Abu Ayyash. Next to it is a stencil by artist Majd Abdel Hamid reading ’#OccupyWallStNotPalestine’ carrying a Twitter hashtag.
