In his portraits of exiled Palestinians, the photographer Inzajeano Latif shifts the borders of Palestine beyond the West Bank and Gaza Strip. For his on-going series, Shatila, men either stare directly into the camera or gaze off into an unresolved past. Shatila and the adjacent Sabra refugee camp were the site of a gruesome 1982 massacre during which Palestinian civilians were brutally cut down. For a people whose existence was once denied and their history of violent dislocation still unacknowledged today, Latif’s Palestinian portraiture is, in the words of John Berger, “translucently documentary”.

Hush is a project that maps the various stories of a group of Palestinian women, each of whom-for one reason or another-became a victim of gender-based violence and was consequently placed in a shelter or a so-called safe house.
