Sumud - Photographic Exhibition
A fundraiser for the special occasion "Mostra fotografica" (25/04/2025)
Fundraising by Lucas Calle
SUMUD
To Exist is to Resist
Palestine in Lucas Calle's shots, taken in the summer of 2024 while volunteering with Operation Dove (Nonviolent Peace Corps of the Pope John XXIII Community) in the project in Masafer Yatta, West Bank, Palestine.
"I spent three months in the hills south of Hebron, accompanying Palestinian shepherds. I was part of a group that guaranteed an international presence to be a deterrent to violence.
We are not always told the truth by the big media, so I tried to tell what I saw through the photos I took during those months.
SUMUD is a term that could be translated as resilience, but it is something deeper, we could call it a state of being, a way of nonviolent resistance to injustice."
If the (traveling) exhibition has impressed you, if you want to do your part, please support Operation Dove's activities in Palestine with a donation, any amount counts.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
