Event 6
Maysun in conversation with Aurelio Martín
On the exhibition To Exist is to Resist
Venue: La Alhóndiga. Sede de Gales / Llwyfan Cymru
Maysun Abu-Khdeir, born in Zaragoza to a father of Palestinian origin, started work in photojournalism almost by chance, as a way of examining her identity and the world around her. After over fifteen years in the profession, this independent Palestinian photographic journalist has become an outstanding and highly experienced documentary photographer covering areas in conflict. A perceptive critic of injustice, she was nominated for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize by the European Pressphoto Agency for her coverage of the Syrian civil war. She has also covered social and political conflicts and natural disasters in Europe, the Balkans, Southeast Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. Maysun combines her work as a journalist with public speaking, education, painting and design. Her exhibition, To Exist is to Resist, on show at the Hay Festival, is about the lives of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and in the countries where they have taken refuge.
Maysun will talk to the journalist Aurelio Martín.
Inauguration of the exhibition for the press: 12:00.
Public opening of the exhibition: 18:00.
With the collaboration of Segovia City Council, the National Association of Graphic and Press Journalists, the Association of Journalists of Spain, the Association of Journalists of Segovia, Repsol, Ambientair and Espiral Imagen Photographic Lab
