This exhibit explores the political appropriation of popular children's book and cartoon characters by activists and artists in the Free Palestine movement, specifically through the example of Dick Bruna's "Miffy" (1955). This introductory collection includes the primary object of a Free Palestine pin designed by Wasielah Noor featuring the character Miffy, which is supplemented and contextualized with additional supplementary items including a Reddit post by @stefan-ingewikkeld and an article by Rebecca Weisser for Spectator Australia. This collection aims to illustrate the politicization of popular cute icons, the employment of copyrighted imagery for activism, and the aesthetics of political movements.
