Faringdon Peace Group, The GAZA FLOTILLA

Dear Supporter of Faringdon Peace Group,

 

The GAZA FLOTILLA  of 42 vessels was frequently in the news in Sept as it made its way across the Mediterranean towards Gaza – before it was intercepted by the Israeli navy on Oct 1st. 

 

 

Daniel (b.1980) is an Irish / British photographer and political artist based in Oxford. Relationships and conflict between people and ideas and the connection to one’s homeland are themes he engages with in his work.

 

From 2016-2019 he made a series of photographs across Europe documenting the displacement crisis, with images selected for inclusion in the 2019 Lande: The Calais ‘Jungle’ and Beyond exhibition at Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. One of these images was subsequently featured in Philip Hughes’ Storytelling Exhibitions: Identity, Truth and Wonder published by Bloomsbury in 2021. 

 

Since 2017, he has been developing a community and research based project in Palestine, with concurrent work now being undertaken in Ukraine since 2024. He was shortlisted for the Rebecca Vassie Memorial Award in both 2019 and 2020.

 

Daniel takes an expanded approach to photography, exploring the dialogue between image and text using collage and Xerography and completed the MA Photography programme at the Royal College of Art, London in 2025.

 

We’re VERY fortunate that Daniel is able to come to the Friends Meeting House as our Speaker on December 3rd.  

 

NOT TO BE MISSED! 

The Meeting will be in the Friends Meeting House ( therefore not zoomed).

Hope you can join us in three weeks time – DECEMBER 3RD – for what is likely to be a uniquely interesting and relevant meeting. 

 

In peace,

 

Sjoerd
