Heba Zagout's art is so touching and beautiful you can feel her yearing and her hope. I'm so heartbroken that I didn't know her before her death. I keep looking at her work everyday and think about her and every artist in gaza and the children that are drawing under airstrikes everytime I look at my art supplies and see children schools with cute drawings on the buildings and doves because she always drew doves.

Heba Zagout was a talented woman.
A Palestinian woman born and raised in the Al Burejj refugee camp in Gaza.
She worked as an art teacher, and was previously employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees.
She was a mother to four. children, Adam, Faisal, Mahmoud and Baraa.
Heba loved art, had done from a young age.
She studied fine art at Al-Aqsa University, trained in graphic design.
And dedicated her life to documenting Palestinian heritage and history.
Things the occupation had always tried to erase.
"I consider art a message that I deliver to the outside world through my expression of the Palestinian cause and Palestinian identity.”
Art that she would sell to support her children as the sole breadwinner.
"Heba was a one in a million talent. She encapsulated everything it meant to be Palestinian and poured her heart and soul into her art"
- Chris Whitman-Abdelkarim, a representative of German human rights group Medico International, who came across her work two years ago.
Heba was killed on October 13th 2023 when an Israeli airstrike targeted her house.
She was killed along with two of her children, Adam and Mahmoud.
It is believed that her husband, and her two other children survived.
Though that update came on the 18th and we don't know if they remain alive.
Laura Albast, a Palestinian American journalist who knew Heba described her death as a "great loss."
"This is a woman who has brought so much joy to the homes of so many people who have bought her art, who have displayed her art.
They didn't just bomb her home, her children, but they erased the traces of her creativity."
Let us keep her art and memory alive.
Her Instagram is Zagoutheba where she posted her art work.

I think this may actually be the greatest thing I have ever created. It's a tribute to a Palestinian artist named Heba Zagout. If you look really closely, especially at the trees and the roots, you may find hidden meanings and power.
Thank you for reading.

"I realized very quickly that Palestinian cultural production — be it in the form of painting, writing, singing, performing or otherwise — terrifies our occupiers because it documents Palestinian voices. Truth-telling is an act of revolutionary love, and the work would not be so violently suppressed if our occupiers didn’t find it so threatening to the fragile ideology that sustains them.
Since October 7, at least 22,835 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in a war waged against Palestinian existence. I struggle to express how each victim of this ongoing genocide was a person with a family who loves them, each with aspirations and dreams. Among them are countless artists whose work should be revered. One was Heba Zagout, a teacher, mother and dreamer."

as always, i would love to see more palestinian art
do you have any favorite artists? particularly looking for tumblr accounts as this is where i spend most of my time
i'm interested in all kinds of art :)
unrelated: here's photos of my partners cat (smonchen) and my favorite captive gibbon (xhabu at monkey haven) to perhaps make you smile if even for just a moment :)
This is such a kind message. Thank you so much for sending it. I love your partners cat so much i will hug them. And that is a nice gibbon! Looks like this 8|
Unfortunately, I don't know many artists on tumblr. The only one I really know is @palipunk, and they draw amazing tatreez outfits from different places. I admire them a lot.
On twitter/IG there is:
Heba Zagout (recently martyred during an Israeli air strike)
BintBandora
Aya Ghanameh
Fargo Tbakhi (Preforming Arts)
Sheyam Gheith
Rafeef Ziadah (Spoken Word Poet)
If anyone else has any other recommendations, please do feel free to add. I'll perhaps make a running list of artists to follow later on.

Melanin November: Day 1
This is Heba Zagout
She was an artist with a passion to create through painting.
She expelled her negative emotions and expressed the troubles of Palestine through her work. A means of finding a balance.
youtube
She recieveda diploma in graphic design in 2003 and graduated in fine arts from the University of Al-Aqsa in Gaza. Soon after, she became an art teacher.
She dedicated herself to her students and her children. Her art was her living.
Unfortunately, she- along with 2 of her 4 children (Adam and Mahmoud) - were killed by an Israeli air strike on October 13, 2023. Her home was targeted and now she’s gone. All traces of her creativity was erased from existence. Her death was inhumane.
Her instagram is currently still up. I encourage you to look through her beautiful work. Don’t forget and don’t let her disappear.
