Stories from Gaza (40 minutes):
Over the course of a year and a half, Palestinian storytellers in Gaza worked to produce visual stories about people and their daily lives. Their struggle was twofold, the responsibility of documenting these stories and the targeted attacks they endured during the war. Many lost their lives or loved ones, yet they insisted on continuing to tell these stories. This film follows what Untold Palestine’s storytellers in Gaza captured, before and after the war. From everyday life to scenes of pain and loss, and the ongoing search for hope amidst the devastation.
Participating storytellers:
Salama Younes, Mohamed Salem, Wafa Abu Hajjaj, Anas Fteiha, Mahdy Zourab, Dalia Abu Daloul, Rima Mahmoud, Mohamed Safadi, Ansam Qatta’, Mohamed Masri, and Awad Abu Sharkh.
This is a unique opportunity to experience personal narratives and artistic expressions that go beyond the headlines.

Join us for the unveiling of the "Wanas" Project.
Date: Friday, June 28, 2024
Location: Art-Lab Berlin, Moabit
Perlebergerstr. 60, 10559 Berlin
"Wanas" captures the rich tapestry of life on Sonnenallee Street in Neukölln, confronting stereotypes and the lack of positive representation about this vibrant street. "Wanas" translates from Arabic as a feeling you get when a song or a smell reminds you of your homeland, and you want to embrace it fully.
Through Mohamed Badarne's photos and my writing, we hope to share the everyday stories that make Sonnenallee so special.

Design: @hayakhoury94 ندعوكم يوم الجمعة القادم الموافق 28 حزيران لإفتتاح معرض (وَنَس) في تمام الساعة السابعة مساء بتوقيت برلين في منطقة موابيت.
العنوان:
Art-Lab Berlin, Moabit
Perlebergerstr. 60, 10559 Berlin
يصور مشروع ونس نسيج الحياة في شارع زونن أليه في برلين ويحاول مواجهة الصور النمطية المصوّرة عن الشارع المعروف بشارع العرب. لم نختر كلمة ونس كاسم للمشروع إنما تمّ اختيارها أثناء اجرائنا للمقابلات مع الناس في الشارع حيث كان الأغلب يصفه بأنه الشارع الذي يشعرهم بالإلفة في بلاد الاغتراب.
من خلال صور محمد بدارنة ونصوص مني نأمل أن يكون هذا المشروع هو بداية لكل المهتمين والمهتمات للحديث أكثر عن أهمية هذا الشارع ومكانته السياسية في ألمانيا.
SAVE THE DATE! الاعزاء في برلين بمشاركة مصورين من غزة يفتتح هذا الاسبوع المعرض الرجاء مشاركة الدعوة مع اصدقاءكم
