As the name suggests, THIS IS also GAZA aims to present an alternative vision of Gaza, one nurtured through the eyes of its most compelling contemporary cultural producers. For the last half-century and longer, Gaza has been viewed almost exclusively – both regionally and internationally–through the camera lens of war, occupation, in-fighting, and humanitarian strife. Through an innovative cross-disciplinary program, THIS IS also GAZA aims to challenge that over-determined, over-politicized image, and to shed a global spotlight on Gaza`s cultural vitality and relevance in the contemporary Arab world – and beyond.
