We Are Humanity

Our embrace will be long, like the waiting • This project explores memory, migration, and the fragile notion of home through the journey of Tomislav Marcijuš’s mother between Baranja and Bosnia. Blending archival material and photography, it traces generational loss and belonging. Fragmented like memory itself, the work becomes both personal and universal—a quiet tribute to lives shaped by movement and longing.

The Displaced • Food photographer Cristian Barnett was profoundly shocked by the sudden invasion of Russia into Ukraine, prompting him to create a series about displaced Ukrainians who are now residing in Germany and Poland. He sought another outlet for his photography; this personal project, entirely different from his commercial work, motivated him to persevere. “I’m in Estonia for the start of a new long-term project about the border between Russia and NATO.”

Proud Humans

Out Of My Hands • Out of My Hands is a documentary project portraying teenage Ukrainian refugees rebuilding their lives in the UK. Beneath their everyday routines lies a silent weight of trauma and loss. Blending reportage and portraiture, the work reveals their resilience while challenging superficial impressions through collaborative storytelling and emotionally layered narratives imagery.

The humanity of a dehumanised people • As a child, Dutch-Palestinian photographer and filmmaker Sakir Khader would visit the West Bank every summer to see his family. When he was 11, he often played with his similarly aged cousin Kosay. After young Sakir returned safely to the Netherlands, he learned that his cousin had been shot dead by the Israeli army for no apparent reason. This tragic event, symptomatic of Palestinian life since the founding of the state of Israel, referred to by Palestinians as the Nakba (the catastrophe), motivated Khader to become a photographer. He wanted to capture the unimaginable suffering and difficult lives of Palestinians in the many enclaves in the West Bank, where ethnic violence is an everyday reality.

Echoes of Being Highlights of Artdoc Exhibition • Echoes of Being is an online exhibition curated from the international open call We Are Humanity. In a time shaped by global tension and deep division, this collection brings together photographic works that reflect our shared human essence — quiet moments, gestures of care, acts of resistance, and the fragile dignity that connects us across cultures and experiences. The selected works span the personal and the political, the intimate and the universal. They reveal how humanity continues to resonate in daily life: through vulnerability, resilience, connection, and the simple act of being. In portraits, in absence, in everyday rituals — each image becomes an echo of what it means to live, witness, and remain human in uncertain times. Echoes of Being invites viewers to pause and consider: what traces do we leave in one another, and what do they reveal about who we are?
