Much of Shomali’s work examines the creation and the use of the Palestinian revolution’s iconography. His artworks are part of several collections including: The British Museum, the Museum of Manufactured Response to Absence (MoMRtA), Birzeit University Museum and Al-Qattan Foundation. Shomali co-directed an award winning animated documentary, The Wanted 18, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2014. The film was awarded the best documentary award in Abu Dhabi, Carthage, Traverse City, and Al-Jazeera Film Festivals. The Wanted 18 was in the official submission lists for the foreign language and documentary categories of the 88th Academy Awards.
Born in Kuwait in 1981, Shomali holds a BSc in Architecture from Birzeit University in Palestine, and a Master’s degree in Animation from Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom. He is currently based in Ramallah, Palestine.
