 photographs from occupied Palestine / photographies de la Palestine occup?e
29-30 novembre et 1 d?cembre. JA de S?ve, 320 Ste-Catherine. 10h00 - 17h00
Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al - M?tro Berri-UQAM
Le photographe montr?alais Darren Ell a voyag? partout en Palestine en 2002 et en 2003. Ses photographies ? portraits, paysages menac?s et lieux intimes qui hantent le spectateur ? traitent de l?impact et de la port?e de l?occupation isra?lienne, qui en d?pit des n?gociations et ententes depuis 1991, entre dans sa 38i?me ann?e. Le titre de l?exposition, Twice Removed (?deux fois exil?s?) rev?t une signification particuli?rement importante : encore une fois, des Palestiniens perdent leurs maisons et leur terres. Les d?molitions de maisons ont laiss? des dizaines de milliers de Palestiniens sans logement ; la destruction et la confiscation de terres resultant de la construction par Isra?l du mur de s?paration a pour cons?quences l?emprisonnement et l?appauvrissement d?un people entier, auquel il ne reste que 12% de la Palestine historique. ? ne pas manquer, cette exposition ? forte valeur ?ducative qui explore les questions fondamentales de cette longue trag?die. En 2004, Twice Removed a remport? le ?Prize for Contemporary Issues? et le ?Heather Walker Memorial Scholarship? ? l?Universit? Concordia.
Cette exposition est possible gr?ce au g?n?reux appui des organismes suivants : SDHP (Solidarit? pour les droits humains des Palestiniens), FCP (la Fondation Canado-Palestinienne du Qu?bec), PAJU (Palestiniens et Juifs unis), QPIRG Concordia, QPIRG McGill, DCI (Defence for Children International, section Palestine), PENGON (Palestinian Environmental NGOs Network), et PARC (Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees).
Montreal photographer Darren Ell traveled throughout Palestine in 2002 and 2003. His photographs ? portraits, threatened landscapes and haunting intimate spaces ? address the impact and portent of the Israeli occupation, which despite all negotiations and agreements since 1991 has entered its 38th year. The title of the exhibition, Twice Removed, refers to a very important reality: as in 1948 and 1967, Palestinians are being removed from their homes and their land. The demolition of Palestinian homes has left tens of thousands homeless; the destruction and confiscation of land occasioned by the Israeli separation barrier is impoverishing and imprisoning an entire people, and leaving them with 12% of historic Palestine. Highly educational and not to be missed, this exhibition explores the crucial underlying issues of this ongoing tragedy. In 2004, Twice Removed received the Prize for Contemporary Issues and the Heather Walker Memorial Scholarship at Concordia University. This exhibition was made possible by SPHR (Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights), CPF (Canadian Palestinian Foundation), PAJU (Palestinian and Jewish Unity), QPIRG Concordia, QPIRG McGill, DCI (Defense for Children International), PENGON (Palestinian Network of Environmental NGO?s), and PARC (Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees).
