Photography as entry into a deeper understanding of identity, history, and struggle. Photography as expression, but also as a practice of self actualization. We talk with Matthew Cassel, founder of the project, Picture Balata, about educating the least among us, and the role that images play in a vanishing culture struggling to remain. Picture Balata teaches Palestinian youth of a refugee camp how to express in images, the Palestinian experience.
