The Resistance Zine a documentation and expansion of Palestinian, SWANA and Arab visual culture, language and art. Highlighting the subtle and explicit ways we communicate with each other within our shared cultural understanding and artistic synergy and the juxtaposition of the way the Western world views and depicts us. Examined and explored from a historical and contemporary lens.

Through this celebration and cultural exchange we can both humanize and deprogram ourselves and others through the act of creativity.

A project by Mark Bohle

Culminating over a decade committed to drawing, Barcelona-based artist and designer Mark Bohle has accumulated an awe-inspiring array of more than 255 sketchbooks within his studio.  


 

  'Pica Pica' gathers a curated selection of drawings from the past three years, offering an exclusive glimpse into Bohle's boundless imagination and his unique approach to filtering and recording his day-to-day life experiences and thoughts.

As we immerse ourselves in the pages of the book, Bohle's drawings unveil a kaleidoscope of shifting styles, moods, and techniques. Each stroke embodies daring ideas, conveyed with a delightful sense of humor and fearlessness towards the blank page.
     'Pica Pica' is not only a visual feast but also a source of inspiration for those who relish exploring an artist's creative process and witnessing the evolution of their work.

Bráulio Amado is a Portuguese designer and illustrator currently based in New York City. His visual work is a buzzing cacophony of searing color, scrawled letters, mushed up figures and insightful humor. His work is equally at home in the pages of The New York Times, flyposted on a wall under the BQE, or on seemingly endless numbers of record covers. His work pretty much destroys any lines between design, illustration and so-called "art." His use of color, layering and expressive conceptual gesture is a life raft on the sea of bland mediocrity that is the commercial art world.

For his LAY—OUT volume Novas Habitações Para a Periferia de Lisboa (New Buildings for the Lisbon Suburbs), Bráulio presents a set of jarring juxtapositions—a suite of technicolor explorations of shape and layering on white pages, interrupted by smaller, pink paper pages with monochromatic gilded drawings. These two interleaved books playfully separate, hide, reveal, and interact with one another, creating all new compositions as one moves through them.
