À propos du livre
I am grateful for the generous hospitality provided by Palestinian families and communities. I, the stranger to their lands, was welcomed as if I was coming home, by a people whose lands have been stolen, whose homes have been demolished, and whose lives have been dehumanized. And it was largely through these loving acts of kindness that I grew in my understanding of the threat Palestinians and Israelis face each day in our collective struggle for justice, for peace, for human dignity.
I hope that by exploring the intersections between our stories and those who have been deemed “the other” through art and reflection, we will be able to look more critically at our own roles in creating a shared future and of the important work that needs to be done to become more human.
“To become human means to remain connected to our humanness and to the reality of the universe. It means to abandon the loneliness of being closed up in illusions, dreams and ideologies, frightened of reality, and to choose to move towards connectedness. To become human is to accept ourselves as we are, with our own history, and to accept others as they are.” - Jean Vanier

À propos du créateur
Steve Pavey, PhD, is a documentary photographer, applied anthropologist and contemplative activist, all of which come together in the vocation of cultivating a way to see, in order to bear witness to the world both as it is, and as it could be. His creative process is deeply shaped by accompanying and being accompanied by humanity living on the margins of empire, documenting and making photos with those shrouded in “otherness” towards the goal of collective action and mutual liberation. Steve’s art focuses on hope – hope found in the struggle and dignity of becoming more human. He has worked in nearly 30 countries around the world, most recently in Honduras and Mexico. He has traveled over the last six years to 21 US States documenting and participating in the undocumented led struggle for freedom and human dignity. Steve most recently worked as a scholar activist at One Horizon Institute in Lexington, KY where he utilized arts-based methodologies to both better understand and build
