SUMMARY:Eyes in Gaza II
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NY\n\nEyes in Gaza II is first hand accounts on the 
 ground in the Gaza Strip: a place millions call home that may soon cease t
 o exist.\n\n\n\n\nEyes in Gaza II is a collection of first hand accounts o
 n the ground in the Gaza Strip: a place millions call home that may soon c
 ease to exist.\n\nSince 2018\, the Lucie Impact Award has been presented t
 o a photographer who created the most substantial journalistic contributio
 ns that year. In 2023\, the Impact award was given not to an an individual
 \, but a group of twenty-two photojournalists and press photographers work
 ing in the Gaza Strip: Dawoud AboAlkas\, Samar Abu Elouf\, AbdelHakeem Abu
  Riash\, Mohammed Al Masri\, Saher Alghorra\, Loay Ayyoub\, Motaz Azaiza\,
  Mohammed Baba\, Mahmoud Bassam\, Mohammed Dahman\, Majdi Fathi\, Mahmud H
 ams\, Ahmad Hasaballah\, Mohammed Jadallah Salem\, Suhail Nassar\, Haitham
  Nuralden\, Yasser Qudih\, Mohammed Talatene\, Bashar Taleb\, Mohammed Zaa
 noun\, Ahmed Zakot\, and Abed Zagout. By putting their life on the line\, 
 these twenty-two individuals were able to bring never before seen imagery 
 of a quickly progressing conflict in real time to thousands worldwide.\n\n
 Years later and the situation remains similarly bleak. The motivation behi
 nd Eyes in Gaza II remains consistent: to amplify the voices of those expe
 riencing the realities of the conflict firsthand. Due to the nature of the
  conflict\, numerous photojournalists have been forced to take refuge and 
 have ceased their work covering the conflict. The photography in this exhi
 bition consists of a mixture of both older images and a selection of recen
 t images from those who are still actively documenting life in the Gaza St
 rip. Each photograph is a segment of the overall story\, told through the 
 lens of those affected every day by the countless tragedies.\n\nThank you 
 to St. John the Divine for opening their doors for this urgent and topical
  body of work. Thank you to Keith Manning\, Rev. Elizabeth G. Maxwell\, an
 d Rabbi Ellen Lippmann for your support in bringing this exhibition to New
  York.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Lucie Foundation and cur
 ated by Alice Dison and Theo Carol.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n
