“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
“Photographing refugees in Calais produced a myriad of reactions. Some were very much against the idea of making a portrait, fleeing regime persecution. Other people want to pose, and would ask for the photos to be sent to them. Maybe a way to remember who they’re with at this time? Who were those friends, those comrades, those shelters, those shoulders. Some of the people I met responded to my camera in ways I didn’t expect, reacting as my friends and family would. Silly faces, hand gestures, funny postures. It made me question my own expectations. Of course they made silly faces! They’re regular people just like those people at home.”
