Mohammed Zaanoun - Restoring Everyday Gaza

How do you restore humanity in a war zone

How do we rehumanize people who are shown almost entirely through moments of crisis? This program invites Gazan photojournalist Mohammed Zaanoun to guide us through a curated selection of his images that reveal the texture of everyday life. Family rituals, friendships, celebration, work, rest, and the quiet moments that rarely make the news.

Through a visual conversation hosted by political scientist and producer Alexander Bergsmark, we explore how ordinary life persists under blockade, why these memories matter, and what is lost when a society is seen only through destruction. What does it take to restore the humanity behind the headlines?
