Bewerkte citaten over Gaza en Palestina

Colors and canvases
As artists we are resisting annihilation in a genocidal
War and showing how the machine of
Killing and destruction is transforming the landscape
In Gaza. They destroyed our civilisation
And our ancient and modern artifacts. People are losing
Their connexion with the outside world.
But the art is able to play a role where the artist cannot.
This is the voice of Gaza they are trying
To silence. With our colors and our canvases we resist
In order to relay our message to the world.

A Past and a Future
Some have argued that Zionism is built on the myth
That Palestine was a land without a people
For a people without a land. My photography subverts
This myth: Palestine is our homeland.
Photographing Palestinian life stands against the forces
Of erasure. Images like that can help reorient
Us towards a just future – a Palestine where we all can
Live together in equality and freedom.
A home where I can one day sit with my granddaughter.
A place where she has a past and a future.
