Enter the Mulberry Tree and Fly Free focuses on the work of twelve Palestinian comic artists. Exploring themes ranging from personal identity to geopolitics, these artists present remarkable perspectives on Palestine. The clamour of the past decades has tended to obscure the everyday lives and unique creativity of Palestinian comic artists and Enter the Mulberry Tree and Fly Free seeks to reveal these unheard voices and experiences.

Curated by one of the leading academics and writers on Arabic comics, George Khoury, together with leading Palestinian comic artist and academic Mohammed Sabaaneh, this exhibition brings together work by a surprising and exciting range of groundbreaking comic artists.

"Enter the Mulberry Tree and Fly Free" features the work of, in alphabetical order by given name, Abdelrazaq Leila, Al-Nakhala Amal, Al-Shamali Shahd, Amer Shomali, Ata Iasmin Omar (also known as Delta), Dabaie Marguerite, Harb Samir, Hifaoui Nour, Jabareen Michael, Jarada Khaled, Sabaaneh Mohammad, and Yamani Fuad.
