Hello all,
This blog has been a stillborn and for that I am sorry. If it makes things better, we have been working very hard on putting an exhibit together.
I am starting to post images from the work that the kids did in Jenin. For now, I am letting everyone know that an exhibit is taking place in Paris to showcase the work that the youth of Jenin created. The exhibit is a series of photos that the kids created, speaking of personal stories of their friends and families in the camp, assisted with essays to explain who their “subjects” are. Their work is very moving, speaks about the realities of the people who are close to them, and is undeniably beautiful.
The entire series will be posted along with a few photos that I took to accompany their portraits. I mostly concentrated on their living spaces to show a portrait of the Jenin Camp. I am very moved by the work of the youth for putting together such a strong body of photographs. It was not a simple thing to accomplish.
If you are in Paris or know anyone who is, please refer them to the exhibit. It is being held here:
CA Poterne des Peupliers
1 rue Gouthière 75013
Paris, FRANCE
Off of the Port d’Italie Metro stop.
Also, to view photos from the opening, please visit the Facebook Page: HERE
A special thanks to all of those who made this project happen. The kids and I are amazed by your kindness.
