Palestinian photojournalist turned artist inspires female students
Rula Halawani's journey as an artist has always involved looking at the Palestinian land and people.
"I believe in destiny. And indeed the way I began with photography was a complete accident," says Palestinian artist Rula Halawani: "It was just something that came to me."
Born in Jerusalem in 1964, Halawani is influencing generations of young artists and photographers, both with her rich oeuvre, exhibited in shows, Biennales, and art fairs around the world, as well as her role as an art teacher and professor at Birzeit University in Palestine.
