![Vintage Fairuz "Zahret Al-Mada'en" Movie Print (Red)](http://watanpalestine.com/cdn/shop/products/ScreenShot2020-09-28at2.01.17PM_{width}x.png?v=1601320040)
DESCRIPTION
- High-resolution print of a Watan illustration of a vintage Fairuz movie poster commemorating one of Fairuz's most famous songs--especially for Palestine.
- This poster is drawn in the particular style recognizable in vintage movie posters of the 60s/70s (i.e. very "pop" art). We wanted to create a particular vintage movie poster for Palestine and chose to focus on Fairuz's song "Zahret Al-Made'en" (or "Oh Flower of the Cities), which sings about Jerusalem, its central place to the Arab imaginary, and its importance in the Christian and Muslim traditions. Fairuz is also portrayed wearing a thobe made during the Intifada (source credit: the Tiraz Museum & Widad Kawar's cultural collection).
