Millo at Al-Jib

Artwork: Mural by Millo, Al-Jib, Palestinian territories, 2022

On a water tower in Al-Jib in the Palestinian territories, artist Millo (@_millo) created this wonderful mural as part of the World Reverse Project in partnership with the Qalandiya Rural Council and Rawaq: The Centre for Popular Architecture in Palestine.

Millo said this about what inspired him to create this project:
”On all of its sides a girl is playing with the mulberry tree leaves, creating something out of nothing, achieving finally freedom.
The curators explained to me the need for girls who are over 11 years old, and living in Al-Jib, to play and go out in public spaces as boys commonly do.
This topic touched me deeply and that's why I decided to change my first sketch, in order to underline this issue.”
