The graffiti-style, spray painted artwork was created by young Palestinian visitors from Shatila Refugee Camp in Beirut, Lebanon and their teachers, in July to August 2012, working with the North Tyneside artists, Faye Oliver and Anthony Downie. It forms part of the ongoing work of the Shatila Theatre Trust http://www.shatilatheatre.co.uk/ building cultural links between the north-east of England and the camp. http://www.thejournal.co.uk/news/north-east-news/palestinian-youngsters-enjoy-trip-north-4404716 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/local-news/palestinian-refugee-children-make-art-1369053
