22 Octobre 2016 – Marseille
Le 22 Octobre, sept villes de la Méditerranée ont participé simultanément à un marathon photo organisé par le collectif Libanais Frame.
Le but : prendre la rue pour documenter simultanément 12 thèmes révélés le jour même, en 12 heures, qui auront permis de récolter une collection de photos retraçant une journée dans la vie de sept villes mettant à nu les nombreuses similitudes et les différences qui entourent notre mer.
Thèmes dans l’ordre d’affichage : Matin / Langage / Travail / Intersection / Diaspora / Saudade / Saveurs étrangères / Héros / Le rêve de quelqu’un / Nationalisme / Attendre / Modèle, Motif
Marseille (FR) - Octobre 2016

Mailed September 15, 1930, to someone in Everett, Massachusetts. Mailing this back to Everett along with an accompanying letter that says the following:
POSTCARD DIASPORA
An ongoing project
Hello, thanks for opening this despite having no idea who mailed it to you. Let me fix that: My name is Christopher Goodwin and I’m an artist and writer in Durham, North Carolina. Accompanying this letter is an old postcard that has been in your house before.
You might be wondering why the heck I’m sending it to you. Well, I've collected used postcards for a long time; old postcards are like little time machines. I'm fascinated by the very particularized history that every image and message carries. The words — sometimes scrawled in haste, sometimes careful and deliberate — often give you a glimpse of the writer.
With all this in mind, I purchase old postcards in bulk to re-send to their original destination as a way for current residents to connect their home to the past. Postcards are ephemeral and too often simply thrown away. I enjoy the frozen moments in time they provide, no matter how banal the messages they bear may be.
I hope you don’t mind receiving the enclosed postcard. I encourage any feedback you might have, so please email me at chris[at]goodwinart.com or write to me using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
This postcard is yours to keep. If for any reason you don't want it, I'd be grateful if you returned it in the envelope I included. Thank you!
PS: I’m always interested in receiving (and will often pay for) old letters, postcards, photos, paperwork, matchbooks, ticket stubs, and other types of paper ephemera. Much of my collection comprises items that have been passed down for generations; folks feel like they don’t have room for it but feel guilty tossing it in the garbage. If you know anyone in that situation, put them in touch with me.
Taipei, Taiwan, 2016 - Leica M7, Summilux 35, Portra 160
Hard to translate "Quê Hương" in Vietnamese roughly means "native land". The 5 million or so overseas Vietnamese (Người Việt Hải Ngoại, Người Việt Tự Do or Việt Kiều) could be seen as a true ethnic group of Vietnam (5 %), a multi-ethnic country with a total population of over 95 million people and over 55 distinct ethnic groups. Their estimated population in Taiwan is deemed to exceed 300,000.
Not my photo or design: this was a poster plastered all over Istanbul during the previous conflict. Turkey, not only as a state, but as people, have always shown sympathy and strong support for the Palestinians.
I am not taking sides and consider all violence as inherently wrong and unjustified. The propaganda accusations are mutual as are the violent actions in this on-going conflict. I haven't been in Istanbul in recent weeks, but imagine similar support in the current situation. I also expect Israel, with a much more dispersed diaspora, to have support in many other places. But I wonder if there's a single country where you will see entire cities covered with massive posters like this? With similar images symbolising the suffering of the Israeli people?
And it's not just about support from foreign nations - have Israeli people really suffered as badly, at any time after WW2? All history books are biased one way or the other and I cannot rely on objective facts about this. What is objective?

Zlata Leonidivna Ognevich (Ukrainian: Злата Леонідівна Огнєвіч, born Inna Leonidivna Bordyuh (Ukrainian: Інна Леонідівна Бордюг); 12 January 1986), is a Ukrainian singer and a former deputy of Verkhovna Rada (Parliament of Ukraine).[2][3][4] She represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö with the song "Gravity". Ognevich previously attempted to represent Ukraine at the Contest in 2010 and 2011.
She stood, unmoving, for no less than a minute as she observed the raising of Ukraine's flag. She, along with hundreds of others, gathered at the Alberta Legislature building in protest of the crisis imposed on Ukraine and as a sign of support.
We don't have much without a country to call home, and fellow Ukrainian Canadians in Edmonton feel this allegiance to Ukraine in the strongest possible form. It is absolutely incredible to see hundreds of Ukrainian diaspora (many of whom have never even set foot on Ukrainian soil) so devoted to protecting the integrity of the nation.
While the many rallies, fundraisers, and gatherings of support being held by Ukrainian diaspora are truly inspirational, they are rooted in abhorrent political intentions. We all look forward to a day when these rallies are no longer necessary.
Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day
The Cathedral of St. James is a 12th century Armenian church in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem, near the quarter's entry gate. The cathedral is dedicated to Christian Saints: James the Greater (one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus) and James the Less (brother of Jesus). St. James is the center of Armenian life in Jerusalem. Each year on April 24, hundreds of Armenians living in Israel gather at the cathedral to commemorate the Armenian genocide. After prayer services, they march to the Turkish consulate singing songs and holding posters demanding that the Turkish government recognize the mass killing of 1.5 million Armenians living under the Ottoman Empire between 1915 and 1923.
The Armenian Genocide - also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, as the Great Crime - refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I. It was implemented through wholesale massacres and deportations, with the deportations consisting of forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees.
The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and one and a half million. Other ethnic groups were similarly attacked by the Ottoman Empire during this period, including Assyrians and Greeks, and some scholars consider those events to be part of the same policy of extermination.
It is widely acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides,: as scholars point to the systematic, organized manner in which the killings were carried out to eliminate the Armenians, and it is the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust. The word genocide was coined in order to describe these events.
The starting date of the genocide is conventionally held to be April 24, 1915, the day that Ottoman authorities arrested some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Costantinople. Thereafter, the Ottoman military uprooted Armenians from their homes and forced them to march for hundreds of miles, depriving them of food and water, to the desert of what is now Syria.
Massacres were indiscriminate of age or gender, with rape and other sexual abuse commonplace. The majority of Armenian diaspora communities were founded as a result of the Armenian genocide.
The Republic of Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire, denies the word genocide is an accurate description of the events. In recent years, it has faced repeated calls to accept the events as genocide. To date, twenty countries have officially recognized the events of the period as genocide, and most genocide scholars and historians accept this view
