The Bloody Sunday Trust is delighted to announce that it will be hosting an abridged version of the exhibition, Time Stands Still: Life in Palestinian Refugee Camps in Lebanon. 

The exhibition by Valencian photojournalist, and professor of the University of Valencia, Germán Caballero and historian Jorge Ramos, as commissioner-curator, was created to raise awareness of life for the tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees living in camps in Lebanon since their families were among the almost a million Palestinians forced from their homeland during the ethnic cleansing/Nakba in 1948 and its aftermath.

The audio-visual exhibition focuses on many of the problems faced by those living in the camps – cramped and inadequate housing, unemployment, gender inequality, health & education and general day-to-day life – and uses photographs and a short documentary to
show the reality of life in the camps.

The photographs were taken by Germán Caballero working as a team with the Palestinian refugee journalist Rayan Sukkar in the Shatila, Burj Al-Barajneh, Mar Elias, Dbayeh, Wavel, Beddawi, Mieh Mieh and Burj Shemali refugee camps in September 2019 , September 2020 and January 2023.

The exhibition is free to attend and will be on display at the Museum of Free Derry during Refugee Week and until August 2024.
