The MAIA Mural Brigade (MAIA means water in Arabic) investigates global environmental systems. The fulcrum of the project is the water crisis in Gaza, Palestine. In the fall of 2013, Art Forces collaborated once again with Al-Jana Center for Popular Arts to work with community of Bourj El Shamali to paint a community mural at the site of a massacre that took place in 1982. Israeli phosphorous bombs were dropped on a shelter killing 96 women, elders and children. Surviving family members wrote the names of their dead on the oranges.
