The Olympia-Rafah Mural Project is a people’s recognition of the sister city relationship that exists between the city of Olympia, Washington and the city of Rafah, Palestine. Through the creation of collaborative public murals, we will express our desire for Palestinian self-determination, which is rooted in honoring the common struggles for justice faced by people everywhere. By upholding human rights for all, we seek to break down barriers to understanding, increase visibility for Palestinian people, encourage imagination, embrace the hope of Rachel Corrie, and bring people together in one voice for change.
