The New Yorker published The View from Palestinian America on 14 May 2024, a photo feature by Kholood Eid on Palestinian life in Missouri.
Saj Issa is given a portrait, a quoted interview, and a substantial passage on the daily poppy paintings she has made since October 2023, which she distributes at protests with Return to SAJ and Return to Palestine written on the back. The gallery is not named. The piece is a section within a wider photo essay, not a standalone profile, but it is a rare appearance for a current roster artist in this magazine.
The byline on the page also names Zaina Arafat with Eid; the photographs and the Issa passage belong to Eid's Missouri series.
Eid's wider series looks at families, gatherings and daily life in Missouri, and Issa's passage sits inside that. The poppy canvases are shown around her, and her words about making one a day since October 2023 give the pictures a clear time and purpose.
Tabari represents Saj Issa.
