Celebrating the release of the anthology The Right to Live in Peace published by WW3 Illustrated.

Celebrating the release of the anthology The Right to Live in Peace published by WW3 Illustrated, bringing together artists responding to the realities of occupation and war across Palestine. These comics, including luminous pieces like drawings of tents by Safaa and other artists in Gaza, speak to the role of art in movements for justice. The anthology features the work of artists from around the world creating in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

The new issue includes work by artists Mohammad Sabaaneh, Magdy El Shafee, Safaa Awad, and Hamza Abu Ayyash, many of them on-the-ground, often taken from drawings they made of actual events. Joining them are Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman (Maus), Joe Sacco (Footnotes in Gaza), Ben Katchor (Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer), Eric Drooker (Flood), and Sue Coe (How To Commit Suicide In South Africa). This collection debuts a number of Palestinian artists, available in English for the first time.

The book launch will feature a presentation by British-Chilean artist R.M. Sánchez-Camus, a London-based contributor, whose illustration of Rachel’s Tomb appears in the book. Sharing their work via video from Palestine will be artists Mahammod Sabaneeh and Dina Omari to share insights into their creative processes and the urgent messages behind their contributions.

They will be joined in person by special guest Raafaye Ali whose design for Gaza Cola won the World Illustration Award for 2025. Together they will explore how art can serve as both testimony and act of solidarity, tracing lines that connect local communities to global struggles for justice and peace.Audiences can expect a powerful evening of conversation, live sharing, and visual storytelling that affirms the human right to dignity, creativity, and freedom.

Gaza Cola and Palestinian snacks will be available for purchase
