This exhibit is an extension of Souq Stories (https://souqstories.insaniyyat.org/), which was displayed in 2021 in all seven of the historic markets it depicts in Gaza, Nazareth, Acre, Nablus, Jerusalem, Khalil, and Jaffa. Its youth group organizers aimed to bolster Palestinian unity across the systemic barriers — colonial divides, military checkpoints, walls, etc. — that fragment the lives of people living in Palestine.
Souq Stories: Gaza Lives brings us to present-day Gaza, sharing the stories of, and images captured by, young journalists and photographers who have continued to document the realities of life in Palestine. It also honors one among them, Fouad Abu Khammash, who was killed in January 2024 in an Israeli bomb attack on Gaza.
< The exhibit includes images of people suffering the aftermath of the ongoing violence. >
This exhibit was curated by Souq Stories team members Shareef Sarhan and Waed Abbas in partnership with U-M students Amir Marshi, Zainab Hakim, Mariam Odeh, and Vivian M. Nguyen. It’s offered in conjunction with this year’s Palestine Awareness Week, an annual series of educational events related to Palestinian history, culture, and politics. Presented in association with Insaniyyat: Society of Palestinian Anthropologists.
