Creative Drawing: Scraping the Skin of Walls by Pejac

Barcelona-based artist Pejac creates clever artworks and striking site-specific interventions. No matter if he works on paper, canvas or in public, he has tremendous ability to adapt his work in order to pass a clear and powerful message. One of his latest work titled “Palestina (The Shrinking Map)” has been completed by scraping the skin of Al Hussein’s (Palestinian refugee camp in Amman, Jordan). His creative drawings are documenting the struggle of Palestinian people and the journey of Palestinian refugees, with a mixture of hope, despair, history and myths.

Note: Al-Hussein is a Palestinian refugee camp in Amman (Jordan). Originally established back in 1948 as a result of the Arab-Israeli war, the camp provided shelter to the refugees who fled or were expelled during the Palestinian exodus. Almost 70 year since its opening, it is one of 10 such camps in Jordan, a country that is currently home to over 2 million Palestinian refugees.
