Dan Burwood - Desert Bloom 5
Part of Memories Carried
“As a child living in exile, images were all we carried with us; they were all that carried our memories” Yamam Nabeel
Memories Carried is a touring photography exhibition and campaign, bringing together photographers from the Arab world and across Europe to raise funds for grassroots human rights and humanitarian organisations in Occupied Palestinian Territory and Lebanon.
Each photographer has donated a selection of images, which have been produced as a series of collectable prints specially for this campaign, priced at £50. With each print sold, 100% of profits go straight to the charity partners: Al Haq, Al Mezan, Health Workers for Palestine and The Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund.
Each image is produced as an archival print on fine art paper at A4 size.
About the Artist
Dan Burwood is an artist, educator and permaculturist based in Birmingham, UK. He has worked as a photographer, teacher and community artist for 20 years, in a wide range of contexts and partnerships. His work is rooted in the documentary impulses of the ingenuous witness - trying to understand places by looking carefully, often as an outsider; the camera has been a conspicuous shield, the darkroom a secluded cell to mediate the present and the past. Having made projects in Cuba, Lebanon and Syria, Dan has cultivated a community and participatory photography space at Darkroom Birmingham, since 2012, teaching, hosting exhibitions, commissioning work and producing community arts projects.
