This is a 2009 promotional poster for the “Jerusalem in One Thousand and One Stories” campaign, launched by the Tamer Institute for Community Education to encourage reading within Palestinian society. The campaign’s title, a reference to the historic folktale collection One Thousand and One Nights, invokes the tradition of storytelling while linking it to Jerusalem’s cultural and social life. The poster was designed by Hosni Radwan, showing an open book with the campaign’s title and a colorful representation of the city of Jerusalem.
