Our next Gazan artist is my dear friend Fadi Thabet, an international award winning photographer. He is known for his street photography, a way for him to express his passion for photography while documenting the everyday life of Gaza. He captures faces in a unique way to highlight beauty amongst the hardship and the unexpected.
Check out his art through photography in a song that I wrote. All what you see in the background are Fadi's photographs.
Fadi lost his home in Gaza and many of his family and friends, he lost count of the times he was displaced in this genocide.
Please show him your support and love through this 5 day campaign. We are hoping to send him $1000 to help with his suffering and above all, to show Fadi that we see him and appreciate his art and talent.
Until when?
Lyrics by Mariam Alammuri, Photography by Fadi Thabet, Performance by Abdelfatah Owainat, Music by Avo Aram
Until when will the darkness haunt me? How long in fear will I wake up or sleep? How long, O universe, will I wait for peace?
"A safe world is a better one. and a beautiful life is marked with a smile"
My holiday is passing and I crave the sweetest singing
High on the wing of a dream I embrace the sky
What did I do and what sin did I commit
to wake up from my dream to the color of blood
I am your child, by God, extend a hand to me
All I hope for is to live tomorrow
In love, in joys, in safety, together..
I beg of you, do not let my pleading voice echo back at me
When people call from charities asking for donations or for me to increase my monthly contribution, I get high off the change in their mood when I can say yes. They always sound tired and hopeless while trying to hide it at the beginning and then they're so energized and I can hear the smile in their voice. It's like "fuck yeah, I did that." I have no idea what the success rate is for those calls, presumably low, I might've just made someone's whole day and helped a good cause at the same time.
Fuck altruism purists. I say it's right and good to feel good about doing good.
P.S. join me and donate to a Native charity this Thanksgiving.
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
