Freedom of Spirit: A collection of paintings and drawings by children of Palestine

Freedom of Spirit: A collection of paintings and drawings by children of Palestine.
 
The Plough warmly welcomes the expressive work of 2 groups of children aged 5 - 15yrs. Young voices of Palestine are brought to the North Devon community through this touring exhibition of children’s artwork, expressing life in the West Bank.
 

This exhibition showcases over 50 heartfelt artworks by children from Nablus and Hebron, highlighting both untutored creativity and guided expression. The children’s ages range from 5-15yrs and reflect the young experience of living life in a warzone. The show is presented in the format of a ‘School’s Exhibition’ of paintings, drawings and some work on canvas. 

  • Nablus collection:
    • Created by children aged 5–15
    • Untutored, imaginative, and emotionally expressive
    • Reflects raw creativity and personal storytelling
  • Hebron collection:
    • Created by a tutored group with access to diverse materials
    • Shows individuality despite structured guidance

Location: Artists Wall at The Plough

All welcome - Please join us at The Plough on Friday 30th January to hear readings and to share reflections from 6.30pm.

Running time 360 minutes
