Gulf Photo Plus (GPP), GRAIN Projects, Birmingham City University and British Journal of Photography are teaming up to present Slidefest Palestine, an evening of powerful and evocative images and presentations. Centered on Palestine, the event will feature presentations from artists and photographers based in Palestine or the diaspora.
The projects span a range of stories and themes—from black-and-white photographs capturing daily life in Gaza in the early 2000s, to intergenerational reflections on exile, return, and the enduring struggle for Palestinian liberation, as explored in Amira’s Castle.
Slidefest is an event founded by Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai over 15 years ago. It is an evening of inspiring photography presentations and Q&A. Since its inception over a decade ago, GPP has held over 30 Slidefest evenings and has presented them in Cairo, Jeddah, Riyadh and Bahrain and London.
Speakers include;
Maen Hammad
Samaa Emad
Shareef Sarhan
Samar Hazboun
Sakir Khader
All proceeds from this event will benefit Medical Aid Palestine.
