** *Mohammad Sabaaneh is a Palestinian cartoonist and graphic artist who
lives in Ramallah, Palestine, where he is the lead political cartoonist for
the daily paper, Al-Hayat al-Jadida. In 2013, he was detained by the
Israelis for five months, spending much of it in solitary confinement, a
situation that inspired the creation of his first book of cartoons, White
And Black: Political Cartoons from Palestine, published by Just World Books
in 2017. The book won rave reviews from leading political cartoonists
around the world including KAL of The Economist, Matt Wuerker of Politico,
and Joe Sacco.
Mohammad is the Middle East representative of the Cartoonists Rights
Network International. He has had solo and group exhibitions of his work in
numerous countries around the world and has conducted cartooning workshops
in many parts of Palestine. Last fall, he won the Medaille d'Or at the
Marseille Cartooning Festival. Shortly after that, he was hailed by the
UN's Committee on Palestinian Rights as one of Palestine's two best-ever
cartoonists-- along with the late Naji al-Ali, and was featured in the
exhibition and gala they staged at UN headquarters in New York. This year,
he has already made great appearances in Edinburgh and London. In late
September, his "History of Palestine" frieze was lauded as breakthrough art
in the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights's first-ever artists' competition.
