【 摘 要 】

Resistance can take many forms. In Palestine, to exist is to resist. For the last fifty-four years Palestinians have found many inventive and innovative ways to resist the Israeli occupation, andoneofthoseways,butcertainlynottheonly,isart.PalestinianartandtheIsraeli occupation walk hand in hand insomuch that and the historical and political encounters of the conflict haveinfluencedthePalestinianculturalsceneandvice versa.Thisarticleaims to explore how art, in its various forms, is part of the arsenal of everyday resistance techniques employed by the Palestinian. It addresses not only how art has challenged the outcomes of the conflict, but also how the conflict has impacted the Palestinian artistic scene. To this end, it explores the case of contemporary Palestinian graffiti as a relevant tool of resistance that provides an insight into the nature of Palestinian resistance but also into the evolution of the conflict itself.
