شهيلي – Scirocco: A Case Against Deportations
The Animation
Scirocco: A Case Against Deportations (2018) is a short animation movie produced by the Brush&Bowcollective and by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, directed by David L. Suber, Hannah Kirmes-Daly and Leonard Ermel. Based on the investigative research “Failing readmissions: If sending migrants back won’t work”, the animation draws out the story of Ahmed and his story of deportation and re-emigration, drawing attention to the failures of Europe’s deportation policies.
November 2017, I was commissioned to create a series of illustrations depicting scenes of torture. Created for a documentary about the abuse which occurs with Palestinian and Israeli prisons. All these scenes are based on first person interviews, presenting the images where the camera cannot go.

An illustration I created for the Middle Eastern art magazine Jaffat El Aqlam, supporting a beautiful piece of written word for the Memory issue. http://www.jaffatelaqlam.com/posts/2016/8/19/first-fast
