No photos of the war. No photos of its victims. No mention of the hundreds
of photographers who have died taking them. We are a group of activists and
artists who believe the future will be shaped by those who can see it. We
stand together against the forces that refuse to let us. The future is being
shaped by art festivals that choose what we see. Hiding behind the pretty
face of diversity, while refusing to see the genocide.
"This arresting public statement accompanies a series of large-scale street
posters called no-photo2024. The anonymous artists and activists behind
no-photo2024 are highlighting the exclusion of Palestinian photographers from
the PHOTO 2024 festival, now showing in Melbourne.
The no-photo2024 posters are strategically placed near PHOTO 2024 venues. Their
aim is to highlight the contradiction of excluding the atrocities captured by
Palestinian photographers in Gaza."
