Exhibit at the IMA library, a valuable testimony of everyday Palestinian life, its faces, its places and its memory, through a photo report made twenty‑five years ago and never shown to the public.
Exhibition organized as part of the 2026 European Heritage Days and in honor of the new name of the IMA library, renamed Bibliothèque Leïla Shahid, after the great voice of Palestine in France and Europe who passed away last February.
In 2001, Joss Dray was commissioned by the IMA to produce a photographic report in Palestine. Through her photographs, she documents the daily life of Palestinians, whether they live in the Palestinian territories, in refugee camps, or within the diaspora. Her work crosses, in particular, the camps of Jabalia, Shati, Kalandia, Dheisheh, Jenin, as well as several camps in Lebanon.
