Dying to Exist by Palestinian-Dutch photographer Sakir Khader offers a haunting and intimate portrayal of life in the Jenin refugee camp. Through striking photography and deeply personal stories, Khader captures the resilience, grief, and defiance of generations living under occupation. This powerful work sheds light on the everyday struggles of Palestinians, weaving together the narratives of martyrs, fighters, survivors, and those left behind. It is a heart-wrenching exploration of identity and resistance.
The book, designed by Lana Soufeh and edited by Pouria Khojastehpay, includes nearly 500 photographs, handwritten letters from the people, recorded text conversations, an introductory essay, and an afterword by the photographer.
