In West Bank art centre, Palestinian children paint hopes beyond checkpoints

By Pesha Magid

JERUSALEM, Sept 25 (Reuters) – On the outskirts of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian woman has transformed her home into an art centre where children use drawing to process their experiences of settler violence and Israeli military raids.

Artist Sarah Abu Madi says she founded the centre – Rommana, meaning pomegranate in Arabic – in 2020 to give local children a place to express their feelings and talk about what they had experienced.
