A Tale Of Two Cities~Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural Project
August 27th, 2010
The Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural Project, co-produced by Break the Silence Mural and Arts Project and the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, was made possible by the collective effort of more than150 groups and individuals–from local to global, from Olympia, Washington to Rafah, Palestine, from Turtle Island to Latin America to Sri Lanka and Indonesia to Derry, Ireland to Tel Aviv, Israel.
This multi-media project aims to build relationships across movements, cultures and great distances. It honors those who have lost their lives striving for liberation, and seeks to strengthen and make more visible the efforts of some of the many organizations and individuals who dare to imagine a different world.

May 8th 2010, The Mural Speaks
The Olympia Rafah Solidarity Mural Project was formally dedicated and celebrated with music, dance, spoken word, poetry and tasty snacks. Hundreds gathered on the corner of State and Capital streets to hear the mural speak as each image was introduced. The event was the finale to the People’s Assembly, a meeting of grass roots organizers in Olympia, and takes its place as a cross movement building tool that will inspire thinking and action. The mural has an audio component and for the cost of a local cell phone call one can enter an extension number for each image and hear related poetry, information, history, interviews, etc.
