The exhibition centres on the deep, irrevocable relationship between Palestinian people and their homeland and features the work of eight image makers: Adam Rouhana, Maen Hammad, Jenna Masoud, Samar Hazboun, Kholood Eid, Sakir Khader, Zach Hussein and Dean Majd. The exhibition has been curated by the British-Iraqi writer and editor Dalia Al-Dujaili, who was invited by Gola Gallery to work on the show as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Every time Yinon Levi returns to Umm al-Khair, where videos and witness testimonies implicate him in the murder of Awdah Hathaleen, anger stirs within the community. Seeking to prevent further arrests or violence, village leaders urge people to hide in their homes. But Levi's appearance leaves villagers, who have long faced home demolitions by Israeli authorities and attacks from Israeli settlers that have intensified since the war in Gaza started, afraid and seething.

Tens of thousands have rallied worldwide in solidarity with Palestinians, marking 77 years of dispossession, amid Israel's ongoing war on Gaza.

As a child, I would ask: What is a refugee? I attended a school run by UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and my documents always had to include proof that I was a refugee.
