Opis

Somoud In Dark Times stirs questionsâ that have long framed photographic discourse: can photographs capture the full horror of atrocity? Howâ does text shape our perception of these images andâ what language is used to describe atrocity? Is it genocide,â or acts of genocide? Palestinians in Gaza, the Occupiedâ West Bank, and throughout the global diaspora knowâ that they are living through or are witnessing genocideââand domocide, the intentional and widespreadâ destruction of housing. Dr. Rehab Nazzal is a Palestinian visual artist andâ educator who lives between the Occupied West Bank andâ Montreal. Her practice prioritizes the effects of settler-âcolonial violence on the minds and bodies of colonizedâ people, on all forms of life, andâ on the land. Before andâ since the Gaza Genocide began on October 8, 2023,â Nazzalâ has photographed fellow West Bank residents.â Shared on Instagram, despite theâ platformâs racistâ censorship of support for Palestinians, the photographsâ reflect kinship, solidarity, and ﺻﻤﻮد (soumoud), resilience.â
