Join us for an inspiring and heartfelt event featuring Hooman Kalhili, as he shares his remarkable journey and experiences from his recent trip to Israel. This event is titled "WITI - Women Life Freedom Murals in Israel."
Hooman will reveal the story behind his 12th mural in Israel, created in honor of the Women Life Freedom movement. This mural, located in the Mateh Yahuda Regional Council outside of Jerusalem, symbolizes hope and solidarity with the people of Iran and the ongoing struggle for freedom.
In his Instagram post, Hooman expresses mixed emotions about this achievement:
* Sweet: Many are celebrating throughout the Middle East as the "Butcher of Tehran" is no longer in power.
* Bitter: The brave artist Toomaj is still imprisoned.
Special thanks go to @anakogan85 for finding the wall and enhancing the design, @fleurhassann, @emilyintelaviv, and @oryandan for their unwavering support in advancing this cause.
Let’s come together to honor the spirit of freedom and support those fighting for their rights. Please keep Toomaj in your prayers as we celebrate this powerful expression of art and resilience.
