‘Haneen lil watten’ (a yearning for my homeland) is a series of photographic portraits resulting from the photographer’s encounters with various Palestinian people living in Scotland.
Using ‘home’ as a central theme, a fluid and diverse concept to people of Palestinian descent, each sitter is viewed in a moment of contemplation as they think of ‘home’.
‘Haneen lil watten’ has been, for the photographer, a personal exploration of the issue of Palestine, now shared with a wider audience.
The exhibition opens on Sunday 11th of May at 18:30pm at
The exhibition shall run until the 27th of May.
The exhibition is free and open during the business hours of The Filmhouse.
