Kufia, 1988-2004.

In the days of the first Intifada in 1988, the Bir-Zeit Committee, Urban Alphabet and Cuen in Naples, with the support of Il Manifesto, Smemoranda and various organizations in solidarity with Palestine, published the portfolio "Kufia, italian pencils for Palestine”.
The drawings, introduced by forewords from Stefano Benni, were exposed in beyond 70 Italian cities, in Gerusalem, in a overcrowded Hakawati theatre besieged from the Israeli Army and then in Tel Aviv and in many Palestinian and Israeli villages.
On the third of January, 1989, all of the Arabic TV channels opened their news with the images of the last theatre of the seized lands - still fit for use - crowded with Palestinian, Israelis and citizens of several countries for presentation of Kufia.
The shows in Europe were interrupted, a year after, for the theft of the drawings: someone stopped the van of the courier that transported the originals and stole them.

At the same time, the promoters of the event, with the acronym "Kufia - Il Manifesto", were working simultaneously with many artists and on different subprojects.
With Paul Fresu, Eugenio Columbo and other Italian musicians, and with the chorus of the Palestinian children "Al Aqsa" of Tunisi, the disc "Chant for Palestine" was recorded. Vauro wrote and designed "State of Palestine, a travel in a seized land".
Various books were published and among them a portfolio entitled "The Intifada in the works of eight Italian photographers ", with words from Igor Man, the book "Palestina fiabe", illustrated from Daniel Brolli and edited by Wasim Dahmash.
The several initiatives were developed in a three year-time, until the US started bombing and devastating Iraq in 1991.
The participation of the authors of the 1988 was cured by Patrizio Esposito and Guido Piccoli, in collaborations with Giacomo Forte, Canio Lo Guercio, Guglielmo Di Zenzo, Vittorio Ercolano.
The new edition, edited from the same promotors of first portfolio in collaboration with Stefano Ricci with the contribution of Daniel Brolli, Giuseppe Palumbo, Gianluca Costantini and Inguine, Flavia Ponzi, Angela Bernal, Francisco Esposito, started in 2002. The new works for Kufia are coordinated by Paola Ghiglione, national representative for the association Kufia Onlus.
