William Parry, a London-based photojournalist and auther who contributes regularly to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA), is launching his new book, "Against the Wall: The Art of Resistance in Palestine," with a U.S. book tour.

His stunning book of photos captures the graffiti and street art that has transformed Israel's apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank in to a living canvas of resistance and solidarity.  Featuring the work of International street artists including Banksy, Ron English Swoon, Faile and Blu, as well as Palestinian artists and international grassroots activists, these photos express outrage, compassion, solidarity, peaceful resistance and touching humor.  

On Thursday 23rd February, at 7:00 pm., in Tomson Hall, Room 280, on the campus of St. Olaf College, William Parry will show slides of his photos and tell the stories behind them 

His presentation is open to the public and free of charge. This event is sponsored by Northfielders for Justice in Palestine/Israel and Oles for Justice in Palestine.
