Photographs from the West Bank, Occupied Palestine taken in 2017 and 2024: everyday violence enacted by the occupation and ‘sumud’ (steadfastness) of Palestinian people in their everyday resistance.

From Nablus to Jericho, learn more about the occupation of Palestine and learn from the people living it. Sumud, meaning 'steadfastness' or 'steadfast perseverance' in Arabic, is a common term used to describe Palestinian nonviolent everyday resistance against Israel's occupation.

Join us at Redeemer Central to engage with a range of photographs from the West Bank in Occupied Palestine taken by Danielle Carragher (Dani Larkin) in 2016 and by Lou McGowan in 2024. Danielle spent three months in the West Bank working with Project Hope as a music facilitator primarily in Nablus and Lou spent three months in the West Bank with EAPPI (Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel) this summer as a human rights monitor.

The photographs taken by Danielle and Louise will demonstrate some of the everyday violence enacted by the occupation and simultaneously the sumud of Palestinian people in their everyday resistance.
