Press Release Italian and English
“Crossing Borders” è una mostra fotografica itinerante che cerca di mettere in evidenza l'esistenza quotidiana del Popolo Palestinese costretto a convivere all'interno del' ”Israeli Separation Barrier”, il “Muro” che divide i Territori Palestinesi della West Bank da Israele dal resto del mondo.
Susan Brannon fotogiornalista americana, ha organizzato e condotto un workshop fotografico con tre gruppi di palestinesi della West Bank: con un gruppo di donne del “Aida Refugee Camp”,del Campo Profughi di Aida, vicino a Bethlehem, con delle donne del” The Turner Institute for Education Youth Group “ di Ramallah ed con altro gruppo di donne del “ Society for Women “ sempre a Ramallah.
Il progetto si proponeva di offrire ai palestinesi una via diretta per esprimere con voce propria ciò che riguarda la loro vita quotidiana, piuttosto che altri lo facciano a posto loro.
“Gli ho messo a disposizione delle macchine fotografiche affinché riprendessero la loro esistenza per conto proprio e gli ho chiesto di registrare e raccontare la loro vita quotidiana attraverso l'obbiettivo fotografico e con annotazioni scritte.”

Crossing Borders is a traveling photography exhibit that gives light into the lives of the Palestinian People who live inside of the Israeli security barrier that divides the West Bank from Israel and the rest of the world.
Photojournalist Susan Brannon conducted a photography workshop with three groups in the West Bank, “The Crossing Borders project was to create an avenue for the Palestinians to create their own voice concerning their lives, rather than other people doing it for them. I gave them disposable cameras to photograph their own existence and asked them to record their lives through the lens and through text.”
Susan Brannon has been a photojournalist in the Middle East covering the conflicts for over 7 years. Her work has been published in newspapers, magazines and humanitarian aid agencies throughout the world. She exposes the real life effects and behind the scenes of war through the lens on those who have been marginalized from the conflicts.

The Israeli Security Wall - Photo Story
Photograph taken by Jumna from Ramallah, she lives across from the wall. Here this road used to go straight but it was cut off by the wall. Her mother lives on the other side. Now it can take her hours to go and visit her, when she used to cross the street.
The next photograph is of the wall taken by Sa'ana in Aida Refugee Camp located in Bethlehem. This tower is built across from the homes and a childrens community center.

Lina's Favorites
I like this photograph because of the Palestine map on the wall because it is a symbol of Palestine.
This is a view from Jibia village near Ramallah. I like the nature of Palestine and olive trees. This photographs represents Palestine.
This is a home in Dras Krakr from the outside. I like it because it is ancient and it may be gone one day. I like the tradition of the homes and it reflects our cultural heritage.
This is a view from my home, you can see that more homes are being built.

Dalia's Favorites
This is in Dras Karakr, it means the head of the mountain. I like the view and the stones, if I owned this place I would like to live in it. It is unique and you cannot find many homes like this anymore.
I like photograph because it shows the houses near each other. I like the blue because it matches the sky. They are too close, because they can hear each other. This is in Al Amari Camp.
Al Amari camp. I took this photograph of the kids coming back to us. I like the idea of kids playing it shows their Innocence.
I like his birthmark, the cross on his forehead, I like his eyes - navy blue, they are unique. I like how he is standing, and how does he live with this? He is too strong to face life, when he gets older people will make fun of him. It is hard outside.Photographs and text by Dalia: (15) Tamer Institute
