The Photographers’ Gallery
London W1F 7LW
Overview
Get insight into life in Gaza in the 1940s-1970s through the work of Kegham Djeghalian.
Of Armenian descent, Kegham Djeghalian (1915-1981) moved to Palestine in the 1940s where he eventually set up a photo studio in Gaza in 1944. A prominent photographer, he documented everyday life in the city through turbulent periods of transition until the 1970s. From studio portraits and family gatherings to images of refugee camps and military personnel, his work is varied, giving insight into the social and political development of Gaza in that period.
Hear his grandson, artist and educator Kegham Djeghalian Jr, take us through the life and legacy of one of Gaza’s most important photographers.
