Undergraduate: Hannah Single

Department: Undecided
Since the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, graffiti has been used by Palestinians as a means of political protest and community expression. Specifically, the anti-Israeli group, Hamas, has fully taken up the practice of graffiti. I believe underlying Hamas' practicing of graffiti is an either conscious or unconscious to assert their power and ideals within Gaza.
