Details from Sleepless Wonderland by Shanghai artist Yang Yongliang, whose massive photographic collages look like traditional Chinese landscape paintings from a distance but, viewed close up, reveal dystopias of industrialisation and urban sprawl.

Dreaming of Freedom’ by Mohammad Saba’eneh.

From the Cartoon Movement:

One of our Palestian cartoonists, Mohammad Saba’aneh, was arrested by Israeli authorities on Saturday, for reasons as of yet unknown. Mohammed was detained at a border crossing between Jordan and the West Bank when returning from back home after attending a conference for the Arab American University (AAU), where he works in the public relations department, in Amman.

. Tomorrow Mohammad is due to appear in court, and in the meantime, no one is allowed to visit him, including his lawyer.

He was arrested in Jericho and sent to ALJAFLA military base near Jenin City, where he was held for 12 hours with no information at all. Under the law of secret information the Israeli court can expand his detention another 16 days ‘for more investigation’. After that period, it can be expanded with another 16 days, and then it becomes a period of 6 months, which can be extended without the need to have any clear accusation.
