This is a joyful photograph showing a group of Palestinian children and young people gathered together, appearing to be in good spirits. In the front row, several younger boys are smiling at the camera, with one wearing a light-colored sweatshirt and another in a gray shirt. There is a grey bird sitting on the shoulder of the central child. Behind them stand older youths in casual clothing including hoodies and jackets.

About With Hasan In Gaza

Kamal Aljafari returns with a poignant reimagining of Palestinian history, preceded by a letter writing workshop led by Youth Front For Palestine and a light Iftar provided by Bayt Al Yemeni.

4.30pm - Letter writing workshop + Iftar (Pinsent Masons 1)

5.45pm - With Hasan In Gaza (Cinema)
Unearthed from MiniDV tapes filmed during Kamal Aljafari’s 2001 visit to Gaza – his first time behind the camera – the film traces his search for a former prison-mate. Guided by Hasan, a local tour guide whose fate remains uncertain, the footage captures a land and its people suspended between the past and a ruptured present – their everyday lives now irreversibly changed.

Falasteen On Film is a community cinema group that showcases a wide breadth of Palestinian cinema across Birmingham. Join them this Jan and Feb for a selection of subtitled shorts and features, each screening paired with drop-in workshops and priced as Pay What You Choose.

  2. The focal point of the image is a large 18th-century portrait painting showing a well-dressed gentleman in period attire (powdered wig, ornate coat) holding what appear to be dead game birds - likely a hunting trophy portrait common among aristocracy of that era. The painting demonstrates the baroque or rococo style typical of European portraiture from that period. In the museum space, a man in contemporary casual clothing (dark sweater, light pants) stands looking at the painting, creating an interesting juxtaposition between past and present. In the background, another visitor can be seen viewing other artworks on the gallery walls.

  3. The image shows three people near a vehicle with its back door open: a man in casual attire (blue t-shirt and light pants) standing to the left, and what appears to be a couple in more formal dress sitting in the vehicle's cargo area. The person on the right is wearing an elaborate white dress that could be a wedding gown or formal costume piece. The setting sun creates warm, golden lighting across the arid terrain, with dramatic hills or badlands visible in the background.
