Ramallah- March 30, 2009 Today, on Palestinian Land Day, we announce the public art project "Out of the Gallery: Celebrating Women in Culture" in the Ottoman Court Building, Ramallah. The European Commission is funding 69% of this 72 thousand Euro project, developed and implemented through the partnership of The Women‘s Affairs Technical Committee and The Open Workshop for Culture and Art. The partners share a commitment in illuminating the role Palestinian women play in contemporary art, literature and cultural heritage. This project is proudly participating in the "Jerusalem Arab Capital of Culture 2009" celebration. The resulting 20 meter long sculpted public mural will be divided in two and placed in occupied East Jerusalem and Ramallah, symbolizing the current physical separation of the united Palestinian people.
