The exhibition A Place of Our Own focuses on the lives of four young Palestinian women. They are Israeli citizens, live and study in Tel Aviv and set out from there on their professional lives, in Israel and elsewhere. Israeli photographer Iris Hassid (*1968) began photographing them in 2014 and talking to them about their ambitions, friendships, families and their political and social commitment.
The exhibited photographs, films and quotes from many conversations show the lives these young women have led since they left their Arab towns and villages to go to university in Tel Aviv. And they reflect the complexity of an existence as a Palestinian woman in Tel Aviv and as a woman with ambitions in Israeli society.
This exhibition was created in collaboration with the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam. The exhibition at the Jewish Museum Amsterdam was realized on the initiative of Victor Levie in collaboration with Iris Hassid.
