I Grant You Refuge - Gaza

I GRANT YOU REFUGE is a collective photo exhibition featuring extraordinary images by six photographers from the Gaza Strip, representing the dozens of photojournalists who live and work in the area, eyewitnesses to one of the most devastating conflicts of our time. The exhibition aims to give voice and visibility to the suffering and atrocities that the Palestinian people in Gaza are enduring. This exhibition attempts to break the deafening silence of the Western media.

The exhibition takes its name from one of the last poems by Palestinian poet, novelist, and teacher, Hiba Abu Nada.

“Being a Palestinian is a story of resilience, pain, and hope intertwined. Every frame captured carries the weight of a nation struggling for justice and peace. Photographers document not just destruction, but also the unyielding spirit of the Palestinian people, the children playing amidst rubble, the silent strength of mothers, and the steadfastness of a community that refuses to be broken. These stories, raw and unfiltered, must be shared to remind the world of the struggles, the sacrifices, and the unwavering hope of every photojournalist, of every Palestinian.” (by Shadi Al-Tabatibi)
