THE SHIP. University, 2
Simplifying a lot, we could say that Britain came to control Palestine after the First World War, he made incompatible territorial promises to Arabs and Zionist Jews at the same time, and washed his hands when the conflict broke out (you already know, The West makes and undoes as it pleases). He 14 May of May 1948 the British withdrew from the Palestinian territories, the Zionist leader Ben-Gurion proclaimed the State of Israel and the neighboring Arab states (opposed to the UN resolution that divided the area into a Jewish state and another Arab state) they invaded it unleashing the Arab-Israeli war that led to a large Palestinian exodus known as nakba. Some of these refugees, 73 years later, they still live wretchedly in camps for refugees in Lebanon, no possibility to return home, victims of a historical injustice, suspended in time. The Valencian photojournalist German Caballero has visited the fields twice to photograph the harsh daily reality of these people who have to face the lack of drinking water, to the dangerous electric cables that pile up in the sky without control and to the vetoes when accessing certain professions. In the midst of escalating violence between Israelis and Palestinians, The Ship collects in the exhibition Time suspended the photographed history of an injustice in which people's resilience prevails.
