• @habjouqa Palestinians explore the pleasures, & perils, of hiking the West Bank, summer assignment e @washingtonpost .
W brilliant writer @for_bread_alone , Shira Rubin
Vignettes of her writing :
A hiking group in the West Bank offers a chance for Palestinians to rediscover their ancestral landscapes.
“Walking connects us to the land, and to each other,” Jaser said. “We’re not going anywhere.”
1st pic : Hanan Ramahi, the director of the American School of Palestine in Ramallah, has also been a regular participant for the past six years, since returning from a PhD program at Cambridge University. The activity allows her a rare respite from the stresses of the city and the restrictions on movement imposed by Israel. Hiking is “psychologically therapeutic, literally, and, on another level, also enabled me to get to know Palestine, and make my connection to the land stronger,” she said. On recent hikes, she has also formulated a vision for her Palestinian homeland: not necessarily in the form of statehood, but of institutions that would make the place more “livable” for young Palestinians.

• @cortissonderegger FLASHBACK
Staged kitchens for @kuhnrikonschweiz
The Swiss family business based in Zurich`s Tösstal valley develops and produces innovative cookware and functional kitchen gadgets for the whole world.
In collaboration with @raffinerie_ag, we were able to design and photograph a comprehensive visual world. The result is an entire book. "Kitchen Tools: Design by Kuhn Rikon" was published by @larsmullerpublishers and shows the high-quality and beautifully designed products.
The picture world of staged kitchens shows unique kitchen worlds in action: Sustenpass with Steingletscher with car breakdown, the historic kitchen in the @kurhausberguen, tomato can throwing in a Zurich flat-sharing community, Ida from @flo_streit cutting out biscuits and last but not least, a grotto in Ticino.
The photographs were conceived and planned by us and realised with models and props.

MANDY BARKER created a camera from plastic waste — and it makes magic! Coming to the @sainsburycentre •@mandybarkerphotography Once plastic pollution afloat in the sea, the CROWN 2.5L camera is on the move again. Created from marine plastic debris this working film camera is on its way to the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich, its new home for the next 5 months. The camera was used on Henderson Island, one of the remotest locations on the planet, and it will be displayed alongside prints taken there.
The camera was constructed from objects recovered from 9 different oceans around the world with the main component and field of view through a plastic poultry feeder found washed up from the North Sea, and imprinted with the words ‘CROWN 2.5L Taiwan’. A toy car wheel was the first plastic object recovered in a cave on Henderson, and this completed the construction of the camera, making it ready to use by turning the wheel to focus.
The images generated from this project aren’t intended to be perfect. The concept is to reflect an ‘imperfect’ world, using the camera itself to bring a different approach and engagement to the issue of marine plastic pollution.
The Exhibition ‘Planet for Our Future: The Stuff of Life / The Life of Stuff’ opens on 10th September – until 14 January 2024 at the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich, Norfolk, England @sainsburycentre #plasticpollution #camera #film @unep @plasticpollutes #climatechange

• @forfreedoms How has Texas changed in 20 years? Tanya Habjouqa (@habjouqa) went home to find out.
After decades as a photojournalist in the Middle East, Habjouqa turns her lens to the place of her youth, where she says, “If you weren’t part of the privileged few, you were forgotten.” In her photo essay for @natgeo, Habjouqa reflects on the two months that she spent reconnecting with old friends in Fort Worth, examining the racial and economic fault lines of a place that she had once called home.
These images are featured in one of eight stories from "The Past Is Present," our collaboration with @natgeo unveiling distinct stories about America’s past and strengthening our understanding of the present.

East Wing is thrilled to announce that Nigerian artist, Chris Iduma is a MacDowell fellow for 2023.
This residency is providing Chris with the gift of time, allowing him to research and develop his projects, and to meet other creatives.

• @mandybarkerphotography FIFA Women’s World Cup
“Every young woman should feel free to choose whatever she wants to do in life. Yet we know that by age 6, children are beginning to classify jobs along gender lines, and by the age of 12, 50% of girls aspire to gender stereotyped roles. There are millions of women out there doing amazing things, and young girls should be able to look to them to realise how many possibilities they have in life. We believe that the real change for girls will come through the women who live in each country, and know the issues affecting the girls there. Therefore, our GOAL is for every country to implement local change to create a strong global network of women working together to inspire the next generation” Miriam González Durántez Inspiring Girls International @inspiringgirlsint
In the same way my GOAL to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the world’s oceans, is to inspire people to refuse, re-use going on to lead the viewer to action - ultimately to create change. The series PENALTY aims to create awareness about the issue of marine pollution by focusing attention on the football as a single plastic object and global symbol that could reach an international audience. The project involved a collaboration with members of the public from around the world after a call via social media for people to collect and post footballs they found in the sea for me to photograph. In total 992 marine debris balls were recovered from the world`s oceans in just 4 months. 769 footballs and pieces of, with 223 other types of balls were collected from 41 different countries and islands and from 144 different beaches, by 89 members of the public.
“PENALTY is the price we will all pay if we don’t look after our oceans by managing the over consumption of plastic entering it and becoming responsible for its design and recovery at the outset” #thislittlegirlisme #plasticpollution #climatechange @fifawomensworldcup @fifa_women_s_world__cup_2023
