Palestinian Photographers' pictures exhibited by UNICEF in new exhibition - A QUESTION MARK HANGS OVER GAZA

THE COMPLEX Gallery - Smithfield - July 25-Aug 12 "A QUESTION MARK HANGS OVER GAZA" is a powerful exhibition capturing the lived reality of children in Gaza. In 2025, the exhibition will travel across multiple countries, bringing these stories to new audiences. Produced by UNICEF with support from the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO) "A QUESTION MARK HANGS OVER GAZA" presents striking images of Palestinian children as seen through the eyes of those who live alongside them every day. The exhibition calls attention to the urgent need for a ceasefire and a just, lasting solution for all children in the region, while also underscoring the vital assistance provided by ECHO and UNICEF. Amid the ongoing war, international journalists and photographers remain unable to independently access the Gaza Strip. In their absence, Palestinian journalists and photographers have become the sole witnesses—capturing and conveying the unfolding reality. Through their lenses, the world has gained a vital, if limited, window into life on the ground. Beyond their photographs, their audio recordings have been essential in shaping the exhibition's soundscape. Every ambient sound is drawn from field recordings, with any missing or compromised audio meticulously reconstructed to remain faithful to the original environment.

All Together Now ready for 'incredible' Fontaines DC, CMAT

30,000 people are set to attend All Together Now over the bank holiday weekend and organisers are teasing some incredible performances from Irish artists. Fontaines DC and CMAT are two of the big names who will take to the main stage at the Curraghmore Estate in Co Waterford. "It's amazing to have Fontaines, they're not just one of the biggest bands in Ireland at the moment, but one of the biggest bands in the world," festival director Will Rolfe told RTÉ News. "CMAT played the festival in 2022, and you could tell then that her personality and performance was going to see her grow to these heights and I think it's only getting started for her. She'll have one of the biggest crowds over the weekend." This is the sixth edition All Together Now, which began in 2018 with a capacity of 10,000 people. Supporting Irish artists is "a key part of the festival". "We've over 20 stages and over 400 performers to there's a lot of Irish talent over the weekend. Hopefully some of them will start on smaller stages and come back again on the main stage," he said. Outside of the musical line-up, Mr Rolfe is particularly proud of the festival's collaboration with The Great Oven – an organisation that creates community ovens which have been in installed in refugee camps, conflict zones and informal settlements. All Together Now has commissioned two ovens which will go on to new homes after the festival. "Post-show, one will go to Bohemians Football Club where it will be part of a community kitchen, and the other will go to the West Bank in Palestine. Those two ovens will be twinned and hopefully build out a cultural exchange," he explained. The festival has also invited Palestinian radio station Radio Alhara to curate the line-up for one of its stages.

Artist creates cling film scene of starving child in Gaza and Irish famine on Grafton Street

The Rio born artist - who goes by the name, Brutto - caused shoppers and tourists to stop in their tracks as they took in the devastating scene. The piece of art, spray-painted on clingfilm, depicts a skeleton Palestinian mother holding her child, whose body is wasting away. In the background an Irish father is showed carrying his dead loved one during the Great Famine. The piece is emblazoned with the words 'This is not history, it's happening right now' and 'The Great Famine Ireland 1845,' 'Famine Palestine 2025.' Brutto told the Irish Independent he wanted to address the trauma malaise some people might be feeling after constant imagery of Palestinian suffering online, by turning the images into art. 'Some people might be tired of seeing the images of what's happening in Gaza. People can swipe by posts on social media, or turn the news off but here, when they're shopping, they can't not see what is happening in Gaza. I want to remind people to keep supporting people in Gaza and the West Bank. "If we just forget what's happening, this could happen anywhere in the world. Some people say they just care about Ireland and not about Palestine but I am reminding those people this happened in the past in Ireland too. 'This piece will only be here for a few hours and then I take it down but people pass by and photograph it and share it on social media. 'That means the message of this piece will go around and stay with people. We need to see expansive aid get into Gaza, we need a ceasefire and for Palestinians to live in peace. 'Sometimes the trauma and pain of what's happening in Gaza makes it hard to go about our lives as normal. Nothing is normal while this is going on. 'I'm a father. I have three kids. Just to realise that this could happen to my kids, how can I not do something. How can I not care. I use my art because it's all I can do to keep raising awareness that we cannot stop talking about Gaza and Palestinians. That we cannot give up and we have to keep shouting for them. "This art is more than about materialism, it's about a feeling and impacting everyone who walks past.' The artist, who lives in north Dublin, regularly creates the cling film pieces of art with a social message. The Gaza piece gathered a great deal of attention on Grafton Street yesterday. Some passers by thanked the creator, as they stopped to take the work in. Brutto regularly creates socio-political art in Dublin. The latest piece is part of a series on Gaza. Brutto first started creating work around Palestinians in 2014.
