The Israeli Black Panthers 1997, A group project led by Avi Sabag, Eyal Ben-Dov, Eitan Shuker and School Students, Inkjet Print, 50X70 cm

In 1997 the Naggar school in Musrara presented the project “The Israeli Black Panthers”, the result of an extensive research that included collecting historical materials and periodical photographs (Micha Baram and Meir Wigoder), alongside portraits of the protest’s leaders who were invited to have their pictures taken. The exhibition and the book focused on the cultural and political history of the Musrara neighborhood and Israel in general.

The portraits in the exhibition depict four of the leaders of the protest movement: Charlie Bitton, Koko Deri, Kochavi Shamash and Reuben Abergel.
