Silent Voices

Youth and children are the ones who suffer the most in conflicts and under occupation. They are also the ones who will hold the future of Palestine and Israel in their hands, the ones we pray will grow up with peace and prosperity.

Children in the West Bank village of Bil’in worked under the guidance of Liverpool photographer, Elaine Stapleton, to produce an eloquent and moving set of A2 sized photos depicting everyday life in a Palestinian village living under military occupation.

The exhibition was commissioned by Liverpool Friends of Bil’in, who work to end the human rights violations suffered by the people of Bil’in and who support the village by making links of friendship and solidarity.

The results can be seen in this travelling exhibition of  photographs which has hung in churches and cathedrals,  schools, colleges and universities, cafes and theatres, and in art and community centres throughout the country and we are proud to have here in the Events Space at the Red Brick Building.
