Portrait of a Protest 2024
Hackney Divestment Camp.
Portrait of a protest.
The activists behind the Hackney Divestment Camp demand that Hackney council ‘stop investing in Israel’s "genocide and war crimes”’ and that they break their twin town relationship with Haifa in Israel and that they twin with Palestine instead. The encampment was set up on the night of the 9th of May 2024, similarly to encampments at universities across the UK, after more than 7 months of war between Israel and Hamas, a war where Hamas has killed 1200 people, most in Israel, and where Israel in response has killed more than 37.000 and wounded more than 85.000 people including tens of thousands of women and children, most in Gaza, and is keeping Gaza under a brutal siege.

The people in the portraits were asked to write a message of their own choosing and in their own words, only request was that it had to relate to the ongoing war in Gaza.
