Contemporary Palestinian painter and muralist Taqi Spateen is having a special solo art exhibition through mid-September at the John David Mooney Foundation.

In addition to the art exhibition, be sure to catch a special presentation of his short film TAQI.

The film explores his life and how he expresses his frustration towards the occupation, the checkpoints, and the Separation Wall through his paintings and personal life stories. Through his perspective is reflected the distress of a whole nation, the distress of the Palestinian people.

Following the film will be a Q&A.
