EXHIBITION DETAILS
Venue: House of Lucie, Athens, Greece
Address: 4 Charalampi Sotiriou str, 11472 Athens, Greece
Opening Night: Wednesday, February 5, 2026, 19:00
Exhibition Dates: January 22 – February 12, 2026
Hours: Wednesday–Saturday, 18:00 – 21:00 and Sunday 10:00 – 13:00
Eyes in Gaza II is a collection of first hand accounts on the ground in the Gaza Strip: a place millions call home that may soon cease to exist.
Since 2018, the Lucie Impact Award has been presented to a photographer who created the most substantial journalistic contributions that year. In 2023, the Impact Award was given not to an individual, but a group of photojournalists and press photographers working in the Gaza Strip. Eyes in Gaza features firsthand accounts from some of these photographers: Dawoud AboAlkas, Samar Abu Elouf, AbdelHakim Abu Riash, Mohammed Al Masri, Saher Alghorra, Loay Ayyoub, Motaz Azaiza, Mohammed Baba, Mahmoud Bassam, Mohammed Dahman, Majdi Fathi, Mahmud Hams, Ahmad Hasaballah, Belal Khaled, Mohammed Jadallah Salem, Suhail Nassar, Haitham Nuralden, Yasser Qudih, Mohammed Talatene, Bashar Taleb, Mohammed Zaanoun, Ahmed Zakot, and Abed Zagout. By putting their life on the line, these individuals were able to bring never before seen imagery of a quickly progressing conflict in real time to thousands worldwide.
Years later and the situation remains similarly bleak. The motivation behind Eyes in Gaza II remains consistent: to amplify the voices of those experiencing the realities of the genocide firsthand. Due to the nature of the conflict, numerous photojournalists have been forced to take refuge and have ceased their work covering the genocide. The photography in this exhibition consists of a mixture of older images and a selection of recent images from those who are still actively documenting life in the Gaza Strip. Each photograph is a segment of the overall story, told through the lens of those affected every day by the countless tragedies.
Thank you to The Very Rev. Winnie Varghese, Dean, Marion Kahan, Collection & Exhibition Manager, Laura F. Bosley, Executive Director, Cathedral Programming and everyone at St. John the Divine for opening its doors for this urgent and topical body of work. Thank you to Keith Manning, Rev. Elizabeth G. Maxwell, and Rabbi Ellen Lippmann for your support in bringing this exhibition to New York.
In honor of Omar Al-Derawi, 2023 Lucie Impact Award Honoree, who was killed January 3rd, 2025 by an Israeli airstrike.
This exhibition is made possible by the Lucie Foundation and curated by Alice Dison.
Curator Statement
The exhibition “Eyes in Gaza” presents a vital collection of works by twenty-three photographers who have turned their lenses toward the realities of life in Gaza. This exhibition aims to create a platform for dialogue and reflection in which we hope to challenge stereotypes and promote a deeper connection to the individuals being directly affected by this genocide. Each image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of visual storytelling to foster empathy and raise awareness in a world often detached from these harsh realities.
This body of work transcends mere documentation; it invites viewers to engage with the complex narratives of resilience, trauma, and humanity that have emerged amid ongoing conflict. Through diverse styles and perspectives, these photographers illuminate the lived experiences of Gazans, offering profound insights into their struggles and hopes during an incredibly challenging period. We invite you to explore these powerful narratives and join us in recognizing the humanity that persists even in the face of adversity.

The October 7 attacks by Hamas militants who stormed across from Gaza and struck kibbutzim and southern Israeli areas killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and deeply scarred the nation. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says nearly 9,500 have been killed, two-thirds of them women and children, and mostly civilians.
