Alaa Abu Asad, our friend, alumn and returning portrait photographer for the Alumni Embassy, recommends us to read "How Gaza Broke the Art World" by David Velasco, writer and editor in chief of Art Forum from 2017 till 2023. David Velasco was fired by Penske Media Corporation after the publication reprinted an open letter, which received 8,000 signatories, calling for a 2023 ceasefire in Gaza. In the underlying article Velasco reckons with two years of division, fear and silence.
