A Palestinian artist who left her home in Gaza shortly before the October 7 attacks to pursue a masters in fine art in London has spoken to FRANCE 24 about her work. Malak Mattar became the first Palestinian artist to ever have a solo show at the world-renowned Central Saint Martins arts and design college. She says with her exhibition "Falasteen", the Arabic name for Palestine, she channels rage, love and hope into her paintings. She told us the exhibition was a call for "life, equality and dignity". Mattar is also author of the book "Sitti's Bird: A Gaza Story". She spoke to us in Perspective.
