Palestine

On Top of the Mountain

Behzad Khosravi Noori

Felestine square in Tehran and its monument have been the central stage for governmental demonstrations against Israel for years. Through investigation of the stories around the monument's creation and the relations between Iran and Palestine, Khosravi Noori looks into the question of how one can show meaningful solidarity with Palestine without falling for the propaganda of another regime.

Shabli: Photography on the Threshold

Shakib Majidi

What distinguishes Ahlam Shibli's photographs from the plathora of visual representations of Palestine is that she abstain from dramatisation in her form as well as content. Shibli's images detail the impact of Israeli occupation on Palestinian lands. She approaches representation of victims with caution so that her work can go beyond sensational reactionism and instead serve as a level-headed critique of oppression.
