Vietnam with Handala - Việt Nam sát cánh cùng Handala

This is a post created to showcase the solidarity of Vietnamese artists with the Palestinians through the hashtag #VIETNAMwithHandala. The movement is still relatively obscure but is getting more and more attention from the Vietnamese art community.

#VIETNAMwithHandala is a subset of a larger movement on the Internet #withHandala. Artists around the world participate in the movement by drawing their characters standing still with their back turned towards the viewers, in the recognizable pose that Handala, a cartoon character, has in several artworks created by Paslestinian political cartoonist Naji Al-Ali. The movement has a strong presence across various social media. You can find more information about the movement by searching #with Handala, but most Vietnamese participants are active on Facebook. I believe that the earliest record of the movement in Vietnam could be traced back to this post by R-Posting.

You could also check out other Southeast Asian artists works that follow this hashtag by searching #SEAwithHandala.

So, without any further ado, here they are:
