Storytelling for Social Change

Our visual productions are inspired by the lives, endeavors, and creativity of people, even in the face of conflict and oppression. Together with our collective of photographers, we continually refine our storytelling ethics through training workshops and hands-on practice. We are committed to a rights-based approach, making sure the people in our stories have control over their own narratives.

The traveling exhibition "Gaza Habibti" (Gaza, my love) combines stories of loss and hope, as told by the people of Gaza before, during and after its destruction. We have questioned our work in the face of excessive brutality and death, but we continue to dream of freedom.The traveling exhibition "Gaza Habibti" (Gaza, my love) combines stories of loss and hope, as told by the people of Gaza before, during and after its destruction.

The "Gaza Habibti" project aims to gather the works of photographers from Gaza who have shaped our experience over four years of collaboration. We have worked with them to document moments of hope and life in this place where its people struggle for their freedom and dignity.
