Strip – Bank - Home
LiTut
It’s the only home
they have. This is where they were born. They are 8, 10, 12 years
old now. But you grow up faster if you live in a place like this...
In a country with a name, but usually referred to as the Bank or the
Strip. How preposterous! How can the name of a country only denote
the regions it consists of?
Sana Husam El-Azzeh’s project, carried out between January and
April 2007, was based on one simple idea: to give the children of
Palestine the opportunity to photograph their country.
39 children took part in it, thus becoming the actual authors of Sana’s
work, entitled “Strip – Bank – Home”.
