Unboxing Gaza
Creative director, visual artist, and educator Kegham Djeghalian Jr reflects on what he calls the ‘para-archaeology’ of his grandfather Kegham Djeghalian’s photographic archive. A survivor of the Armenian Genocide, Kegham established Photo Kegham, Gaza’s first local photography studio in 1944. In this text and photo-essay, Djeghalian Jr explores various forms of disruptions: of his grandfather’s trajectory, of Armenian and Palestinian histories, of the photographic archive itself, and of Gaza.
