Information
As part of International Womens Day and in solidarity with Palestinian women, Roxanne with Parents for Palestine organised a collaborive effort to build a giant puppet for a womens march.
The puppet making brought together people from all walks of life. We had parents come down with their new borns, a collective of artists, a puppet maker who brought our vision to life, people at Pelican House (where we held the event over a span of 5 days) who were in the building or on their lunch break and comrades who saw our public call out.
The frame of the puppet was made with willow sticks and bound with glued gauze strips, next sponge and tent material was used to flesh out the face and hands. The body is a metal frame secured onto a baby carrier. The hair was strips of black tent material, the dress was painted with oranges to represent the orange groves in Palestine and the top was spray painted with a tatreez pattern.
Every part of the puppet was hand stitched and tended to by a beautiful soul who donated their time and engaged in conversations about Palestine.
