Shaheeda Rahma Hindi's "Embroidery Piece" Displayed at the '100 Shaheed - 100 Lives' Exhibition, Feb 2001

Taken by Isabel de la Cruz, this photograph shows "an embroidery piece" belonging to the shaheeda Rahma Hindi from the city of Beit Sahour. On October 9th, 2000, Rahma was injured and later murdered during the shelling that targeted the shaheed Hussein Abiyyat as she and her friend Aziza Dannoun were near the bombing site. This item was displayed at the '100 Shaheed - 100 Lives' exhibition, held at the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah on February 20, 2001. The idea of the exhibition emerged weeks after the outbreak of the Second Intifada (Al-Aqsa Intifada) as a tribute to all those murdered in the struggle. However, as the number of shaheeds was exponentially increasing, the exhibition was limited to honoring the first 100 shaheeds representing all areas of Historic Palestine.
