Revamped and old PFLP poster for #internationalwomensday
#art

A poster reading "Down with the colonizer, down with patriarchy" and showing a Palestinian woman holding a rifle and wearing a veil embroidered with poppy anemones. The veil falls around her face in such a way, that it creates the shape of the Palestinian map.
