Relentless Refusals

RELENTLESS REFUSALS features recent short animated films by The Hakawi Animation Team, and animators Naaman Azhari, and Arash Akhgari, presenting perspectives from characters that refuse to silently accept the conditions or struggles they face. Included are stories told from children’s perspectives who plainly see and refute their unjust situations, brought about either from within their own societies or by occupying forces. Other perspectives highlight protest movements or a rejection of the world as we know it. 

April 17 - 27
