The album's artwork, designed by the talented Shahd, mirrors the essential question of how to depict support for Palestine. Choosing not to dwell solely on the darkness and grim reality, the compilation becomes a celebration of the rich history, arts, and culture of Palestine. Amidst the chaos and struggles, the music becomes a powerful tool, showcasing the birthplace of unique contemporary artists who have used their art to unite people and break free from oppression. With contributions from artists like Cem Mo, ICTV, Nephews, Nesta, Retromigration, S.A.M., Sandilé, and Sarab, From Gaza to Beirut is not just an album; it's a cause.
