Disabled Palestinian war photographer turns camerra on culture
Ma`an
News Agency - "For Silwadi, safeguarding Palestinian cultural heritage
goes hand-in-hand with the question of Palestinian identity and the
future of the Palestinian people."I see the way in which the Palestinian
people have had everything stolen for the profit of the Israelis," he
told AFP. "I thought it was important that the Palestinians protect
their heritage by taking pictures of their cultural heritage and
speaking about it." ca A tireless documenter of Palestinian history,
Silwadi has since his injury published several books on the walls of
Jerusalem`s Old City, on traditional costumes, on jewellery and on
cuisine." ca
