Every weekend Shat-ha group go walking together in the hills round Ramallah, Palestine. These wonderful photographs are taken on those walks. As far as possible the group avoid the Separation Wall and the Israeli settlements which hem Ramallah in. They are forbidden territory for Palestinians. Palestinians, international residents and visitors enjoy exploring the surrounding countryside together and quietly and peacefully assert their right to do so. It is a right we in Scotland take for granted. Among the group are five talented photographers whose work you see displayed in this Festival exhibition. The photographs will be sold to help cover the costs of the exhibition (further details of prices etc. at the Story Telling Centre) Further details from susan.moffat@hotmail.co.uk |
