The Great March of Return is a col­lage inclu­ding over one thou­sand pho­to­graphs cap­tu­red by five Palestinian jour­na­lists from Gaza of the crowds who have gathe­red every Friday since March 2018 to end the Israeli occu­pa­tion. These images are contras­ted with photos taken of outer space mer­ging the her­me­ti­cally sealed Strip with infi­nity, crea­ting a monu­men­tal “pre­sent-day fresco” demons­tra­ting a nation’s eter­nal fight for libe­ra­tion.

Journalistes pho­to­gra­phes : Atieh Darwish, Mustafa Mohamad, Majdi Fathi, Mohammed Asad, Ashraf Amra.
