The Thinking Behind This Piece
- This design began mostly in jest (and because we love cats so much that we imagine dressing them up in mini kuffiyehs and starting a Palestinian cat cafe at Watan, oh dear). Perhaps some may find it a bit disrespectful, this dressing of cats up in a powerful symbol of Palestinian resistance. But that same symbol has been so watered down that everyone and their mother wears it. So if every other person can wear it--regardless of their political and personal affiliations--why not a cat? Let's have an existential crisis a la "The Crucible" and ask: WHAT IS IN A NAME (i.e. SYMBOL)??

“Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted. -Edward Said”
”للمنفى شجن دفين لا يمكن التغلب عليه البتة ، فهو ينبع من الواقع الأساسي للمنفي، من بين الذات وموطنها.“
