La prigione S21 a PhonPenh in cui i Kmer rossi sterminarono un'intera generazione. L'orrore della storia che questo posto tramanda è amplificato dal fatto che la prigione prima fosse una scuola. Uno slittamento, una trasformazione davvero cruenta.
S21 prison in Phon Penh. In this prison the Khmer rouge destroyed a whole generation of Cambodian. The terrible history that this place communicate is amplified by the fact that the prison was, once, a school. Definitively a terrible displacement.

Philadelphia
Development in Philly is out of control, worsening conditions for working class people & the environment. Hundreds of community activists took to the streets to set the tone for Philly's 2023 election: anyone running for mayor or city council better have policy solutions for ensuring long-term, working class residents have a place in this city and that Philly is truly tackling and prepared for the climate crisis.
The march was organized by community groups fighting for land justice across our city, including Philly Thrive, Sunrise Movement, VietLead, Save UCTownhomes, Save the Meadows, Cobbs Creek EJ, and more!

Following 1967 war, Israel annexed East Jerusalem and extended its municipal boundaries incorporating larger parts of the West Bank. Al Nu'man village, east of Beit Sahour, suddenly found itself within the extended Jerusalem municipal boundaries. Overnight the residents of Al Nu'man became “illegal” residents in their own village as the vast majority of them hold West BanK ID and were not given Jerusalem IDs.
The residents have faced a wave of demolitions since then. In 2002, the village of Al Nu'man also started to witness the construction of the Israeli Wall on its lands, which isolates it from the nearby Palestinian communities. There is only one entrance and exit from the village through an Israeli military checkpoint which can only be passed by Palestinians from Al Num'an registered on a list, meaning that the residents from Al Nu'man cannot have visitors from outside the village
Mohammed Atiyah Family.
The Atiyah family have 6 children (4 girls and 2 boys). Their house, built in 1983, has had a demolition order since 1993.

Today’s contemporary is tomorrows tradition. – Fayne Robinson.
My art practice draws on a bicultural narrative, as I attempt to visualise the feeling of displacement felt by generations of Tākata Whenua through a contemporary medium.
Predominantly utilising recycled materials from an urban environment, I breathe new life into discarded objects with a prior austere, colonial objective (railway sleepers, school desks, farming materials). These objects take on sculptural forms that invite viewers to look at these materials in a new light, to ponder on the potential beauty that can evolve from a negative connotation.
Blackened with tattoo ink, sleepers take on the form of Taurapa, Tauihu and Parata. Choreographed into two groups, these forms represent different generations of Māori. One group is adorned with anti-establishment markings of the 21st century, graffiti and traditional (sailor) tattooing. The other evokes that of an earlier generation, inviting these new(er) forms into the conversation of what it means to have a bicultural identity.

The Bwasare IDP settlement (in Gasorwe commune, Muyinga province) was set up by the local administrator in 1998 to settle ethnic Tutsi and Batwa closer to their place of origin. These IDPs had fled five years earlier to various locations in the province. About 550 people currently live in the settlement, which is close to a communal centre and a main road. Most of the inhabitants are able to farm the land from which they were displaced.

During my short trip to document protest for Greenpeace India after the arrests of four activists of Mahan Sangharsh Samiti in May 2014, I also documented daily life, graffiti of resistance, tendu patta collection, trees which will be felled in case mining starts for them.

Remember, it's the same calculation whether you use displacement and velocity (where direction matters) or speed/velocity (where it doesn't.)
IDPs settle in newly built houses in the southern Makamba Province. As of the end of 2004, about 1.2 million people lacked basic shelter, according to Burundi's national programme for the rehabilitation of war-affected. They are refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and single mothers whose husbands were killed during the war and who have been left to care for their children.

The giraffe's aerial perspective comes at a cost. Giraffe don't sip water, or lap it up. They suck it in and pump it up to their bellies.
