About Artist
Amer Shomali is a Palestinian multidisciplinary artist using painting, film, digital media, installations, and comics as tools to explore and interact with the sociopolitical scene in Palestine. Much of Shomali’s work examines the creation and use of the Palestinian revolution’s iconography.

The film was awarded the best documentary in the Abu Dhabi, Carthage, Traverse City, and Al-Jazeera film festivals. The Wanted 18 was also in the official submission lists for the foreign language and documentary categories of the 88th Academy Awards.
Born in Kuwait in 1981, Shomali holds a BS in architecture from Birzeit University and a master’s degree in animation from Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom. He is currently based in Ramallah and teaching at the Faculty of Art, Music, and Design at Birzeit University.
