Resistance brings together images from four separate but thematically intertwined urgent issues: the American experience with ICE and migration enforcement, the Iranian uprising, the war in Ukraine, and the ongoing Palestinian struggle for freedom and self-determination. Through photography and visual storytelling, the exhibition examines acts of defiance, survival, and resilience in the face of overwhelmingly oppressive realities. The works presented here reflect the enduring human spirit and the ways individuals and communities continue to resist systems of control while fighting to preserve their dignity and hope.

Featured photographers include Lynsey Addario, Samar Abu Elouf, Saher Alghorra, Mohammed Al Masri, Omar Ashtawy, Loay Ayyoub, Farhad Babaei, Victor Blue, Fabio Bucciarelli, Carol Guzy, Maya Hed, Belal Khaled, Arash Khamooshi, Jakub Laichter, Evgeniy Maloletka, Yalda Moaiery, Suhail Nassar, Haitham Imad, Oksana Parafeniuk, Paul Ratje, Mohsen Rezaei, Mohammed Salem, Alireza Sotakbar, and Ahmed Zakot.
