’Om (Mother)' is a collaborative photography project by Barbara Debeuckelaere (BE) and all the women of eight families from Tel Rumeida in Hebron, Palestine. The entanglement of small and heavily guarded Israeli settlements severely restricts the freedom of movement of Palestinian residents. Although both men and women suffer from this situation, women are rarely heard or seen. In ’Om (Mother), the Palestinian women of Tel Rumeida claim agency by handling the camera themselves to document their lives, their homes, and their immediate surroundings. The camera is used to show their perseverance and expose the ambiguity of home. By showing the world their determination to continue their daily lives under occupation, these women are participating in the ultimate act of resistance.
