With the
project of this new Website, Birzeit
University, the main Palestinian
University based in Birzeit, aims to
counter the segregation of Palestinians
and advance understanding of the visual
arts. Opening up to the wolrd is vital
for Palestinians today, we therefore
support this new and very well designed
Website, that, we hope too, will inspire
the new generation and foster dialogue
between the Palestinians themselves and
the rest of the world.
The Website shelters several chapters
divided as follows:
