"The Israeli military has killed over 250 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023, making it the most dangerous conflict zone for journalists in history. Curated by Seanna Latiff, Shuhūd (Witnesses) features portraits of roughly 150 of these Palestinian journalists, putting human faces to this grim statistic. In doing so, it memorializes those who dedicated their lives to documenting and publicizing the genocide and the staggering destruction of their communities. Over 35 artists contributed to the group show, including Rachid Bouhamidi, Molly Segal, Karim Shuquem, Michael Hambouz, and others. All proceeds from an online fundraiser will be donated to the Sameer Project’s “Rebuild Gaza” campaign, which supports families who want to return home to Gaza by clearing rubble from streets and repairing infrastructure."
