Eid al-Fitr 2026 Greeting Poster – Yabous Cultural Center

The Poster was designed by Nadeem Mazen while working As Exhibitions Curator and Projects Coordinator at Yabous Cultural Centre

In the corners of life, where challenges intersect with dreams, joy remains an unfading beam of light; it carries us toward brightness and reminds us that we can bridge between the past, present, and future, between hope and reality, through ourselves and through those around us. We are the makers of joy, and we are the ones who choose to hold on to it. We will always seek it.

This Eid, and in the spirit of belonging to our culture, we affirm that our celebration lies in our ability to see light despite the shadows, and to preserve joy in its time, even in the hardest moments.

From the eldest among us to the youngest, every generation celebrates Eid with whatever sense of safety is available, especially our children, many of whom have been deprived of their joy for years. Celebrate Eid, prepare the Ka’ak, and share it; for a day will come when the sun rises again upon us, a day that eases the pain of our children and restores to them the Eid they truly deserve.

The design draws inspiration from various scenes across Palestine, centering on telling the story of Eid through children, through Ka’ak, through the present reality, and through every small story that pulses with life. In this poster, we see children holding Eid Ka’ak/sweets, because even in the most difficult times, we strive to create moments of happiness for them, no matter how simple. Despite the destruction and the weight of the scene, children remain capable of joy, even if only for a fleeting moment, while adults work to make that moment possible, through clothing, sweets, toys, and countless small gestures that give Eid its meaning.

The design features the fundamental colors of nature: the tones of earth, sky, faces, and Ka’ak. Grey dominates the scene, yet it is not without a glimmer of hope; rays of light emerge from afar, unlight capable of washing over us, and over our children, cleansing the burdens and wounds they carry, and the weight of a childhood they were denied. The light arrives with the promise of a new day, a day that fills us with clarity, allowing us to rise like a blank page, ready to rebuild, to live again, and to move toward a better tomorrow for us, for those around us, and for our homeland.
