FATMA HASSONA ファトマ・ハッスーナ
A tribute to the late Palestinian photographer through a projection of her images
Fatma Hassona was a Palestinian photographer and activist who documented life in Gaza amid unimaginable circumstances. On 16 April 2025, at just 26 years old, Hassona was killed in an airstrike alongside several members of her family.
Intimate and grounded in lived experience, Hassona's coverage garnered wide attention on social media. In the 18 months before her death, she became a bright, determined presence - someone who truly believed in the power of photography to fight injustice.
This year, KYOTOGRAPHIE pays tribute to Hassona's remarkable images through a presentation of her work. According to the UN announcement on 04 September 2025, at least 248 journalists have now been killed in Gaza - more than in any other war in modern times. At a time when risks to journalists are unprecedented, this exhibition offers a small space to reflect on this great tragedy, and the countless lives that have been lost.
