Palestinian artist’s work to go on display in London after Channel 4’s Jon Snow smuggles it out of Gaza
Work by a Palestinian artist is to go on display in London after her paintings were smuggled out of Gaza by Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow.
Snow has made a series of visits to Gaza to report on life in the region blockaded by Israel. Last year talked about how it had affected him and implored viewers to act: “Together we can make a difference.”
He interviewed artist Majdal Nateel earlier this month and volunteered to take 399 of her paintings out of Gaza in his suitcase. They will form part of a London show in P21 Gallery called Gaza on Gaza, featuring work by Palestinians based in the region responding to last year’s conflict.
We were looking someone to carry it out and were worried that if we used a courier the Israelis would stop it,” said screenwriter Line Langebek, one of the show’s organisers. “Jon, who was out there, spontaneously offered to carry it. It’s fantastic to see them up on the wall in London now.”

Ms Langebek added: “Maybe it was a bit risky, as he was high profile, but luckily they did not look in his bag.
“He has been there before and did an impassioned piece last year during the bombardment, maybe that’s why he did it.”
Snow was not available for comment.
