Into the Wood creates a platform for artists who question our relationship with the natural world around us.
Taking inspiration from poet and artist William Blake (1757 – 1827), it explores the powerful presence of nature in our lives – how a walk into the woods can connect us to the natural world, to a different scale in time and to something greater than ourselves.
Through exploring ancient traditions and speculating about the future, the artists in this show invite us to imagine our relationship with nature afresh – to envisage a countryside without land ownership, extraction or colonial practices – a place that inevitably re-wilds, and where non-human life forms can develop as the world flourishes when left to its own devices. In doing so, we find artists steadfastly returning the gaze of Western cultural norms as they offer a new way of seeing. As William Blake was well aware, the politics of this green and pleasant land are never far from the surface.
Into the Woods includes work by Larry Achiampong & David Blandy, Adam Broomberg, Rebecca Moss, Abigail Lane, Kenji Lim, Jevan Watkins Jones and Theo Panagopoulos.

World Press Photo Talk: The stories that matter
The olive tree is a totem of Palestinian identity, culture, and resistance. It supports the livelihoods of more than 100,000 Palestinian families, is a centre of traditions and identities, and has long been a target of destruction and theft. Since 1967, 800,000 Palestinian olive trees have been destroyed by Israeli authorities and settlers. Over eighteen months, artists Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez travelled in the Occupied Territories of Palestine and photographed these trees, many of which are thousands of years old. Anchor in the Landscape brings together their studied, absorbing portraits, which act as fixed points in a historic and transforming landscape that is constantly disputed, altered, and increasingly destroyed. Each portrait bears witness to the presence and resilience of the Palestinian people and their relationship with the land. Adam Broomberg will talk about the potential of photography to reach people in an increasingly polarised and tribalised political and ideological landscape.

IDEA 2025/26: PhMuseum’s Online Masterclass led by Adam Broomberg
For the first time I will be running an online masterclass offered by PhMuseum.
Find out about the course content and structure here
With works by: Adam Broomberg & Rafael Gonzalez, Andrea De Siena & Emily Jacir & Luca Rossi, Baha Hilo, Dima Srouji & Jasbir Puar, Duncan Campbell & Samer Barbari, Eli Wewentxu & Nicolás Jaar, Emily Jacir, Isabella Hammad, Michael Rakowitz, Mohammad Saleh, Researching Palestine, Sari Khoury, Sebastián Jatz Rawicz, Shayma Hamad, Stéphanie Janaina, Vivien Sansour
Curated by Jonathan Turner and Antonia Alampi
Following its first iteration as a Collateral Event to the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, ‘aʿmāl al-‘arḍ – Landworks, Collective Action and Sound now unfolds in a new form, developed in conversation with Spore Initiative. Bringing together works produced by artists, collectives, and allies in and around the southern West Bank, the exhibition explores land, agriculture, and heritage as spaces of resilience, memory, and collective practice in a reality where access to these very foundations of life is constantly challenged.
The works exhibited are the result of artists residencies at Dar Jacir for Art and Research which houses multiple projects grounded in shared encounters and hospitality. Founded in 2014, Dar Jacir is an interdisciplinary experimental learning hub that fosters cross-cultural and intergenerational exchanges. A process and practice-oriented platform, it is devoted to educational, cultural, and agricultural exchanges and productions deeply rooted in Bethlehem.
The exhibition highlights how artistic practice becomes a form of persistence—engaging with land not only as a site of labour and sustenance but also as a space of cultural transmission, remembrance, and future-making. This iteration unfolds across three interwoven chapters. The first, Land, Memory, and the Rhythms of Survival,reflects on the endurance of place, exploring how artistic gestures—through movement, photography, and material archives—preserve histories, challenge erasures, and forge connections across generations. The second, Land, Nourishment, and the Politics of Care, focuses on agriculture, foraging, and food as acts of resistance, tracing how artists engage with seeds, soil, and shared rituals to sustain both community and identity. The final chapter, Absence, Sound, and the Politics of Visibility, considers what remains unseen—how sound, ephemeral traces, and overlooked details reveal the layers of restriction, adaptation, and presence in contested landscapes.
From the hands that plant and harvest to the bodies that dance and move, the works speak to the endurance of place, the interdependence of human and non-human rhythms, and the ways in which collectivity strengthens amid imposed fragmentation. Whether through preserving seeds, reviving generational techniques, mapping sonic environments, or enacting gestures of care, these practices insist on presence, continuity, and imagination. Through these works, ‘aʿmāl al-‘arḍ reflects the deep connections between agriculture, sound, movement, and storytelling, showing how tending to the land is not just about sustenance, but about survival, artistic practice, and the reaffirmation of belonging.
The audience is invited to listen and engage, to attune to the rhythms of work and care, to the gestures and voices that persist. To stand among these works is to stand within an ongoing conversation—one that grows, shifts, and carries forward, like roots threading through soil, even in the face of erasure.

Si Fest: Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin | Chicago
Chicago è una città artificiale nel deserto del Negev, costruita dal governo israeliano per addestrare l’esercito al combattimento urbano. Una scenografia disabitata, costruita come quelle palestinesi di Ramallah e Nablus, con finti graffiti in arabo sui muri, carcasse di automobili per la strada, moschee e campi profughi. A Chicago tutto, anche un cartone di latte al supermercato, può essere l’ordigno per un attentato: un non luogo grottesco, estremamente efficace per descrivere diffidenza, pregiudizio e il sentire degli israeliani nei confronti dei palestinesi. Il progetto è una riflessione sul tema della costruzione – reale e simbolica – di un territorio, espressione della condizione di violenza e insicurezza originate dalla irrisolta questione dei territori nel rapporto Israele-Palestina. Con questo ciclo fotografico del 2006-2007, gli autori si interrogano sul valore della fotografia in rapporto ai conflitti contemporanei: in una società ormai satura di immagini in cui il fotoreportage ha perso gran parte del significato originario, superato da tecnologia e ragioni della politica, questa riflessione si rivela ancor più attuale oggi, dopo il 7 ottobre 2023. Un lavoro che, a quasi vent’anni dalla sua pubblicazione, rivela tutta la sua amara attualità.
Adam Broomberg (Johannesburg, Sud Africa, 1970) e Oliver Chanarin (Londra, UK, 1971) vivono e lavorano tra Londra e Berlino. Professori di fotografia alla Hochschule für Bildende Künste (HFBK) di Amburgo e alla Royal Academy of Art (KABK) dell’Aia, il loro lavoro è in importanti collezioni internazionali pubbliche e private tra cui Pompidou, Tate, MoMA, Yale, Stedelijk, V&A, Art Gallery of Ontario, Cleveland Museum of Art e Baltimore Museum of Art. Tra i premi più importanti lo ICP Infinity Award (2014), il Deutsche Börse Photography Prize (2013), l’Arles Photo Text Award (2018). Nel 2021 hanno cessato la collaborazione.
Le Monde: L’olivier, symbole malmené en terre occupée
Depuis 1967 et l’occupation par Israël de la Cisjordanie, des milliers d’oliviers ont été détruits par les autorités ou les colons israéliens. Entre 2022 et 2023, les photographes Adam Broomberg et Rafael Gonzalez ont immortalisé les arbres encore debout, pour certains millénaires, emblèmes de l’enracinement palestinien dans ces territoires.
Since 1967 and Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, thousands of olive trees have been destroyed by Israeli authorities or settlers. Between 2022 and 2023, photographers Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez immortalized the trees still standing, for some millennials, emblems of Palestinian rootedness in these territories.
Adam Broomberg, Rafael Gonzalez and Issa Amro in conversation at BulBul Berlin
Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez will be in conversation with Issa Amro to mark the launch of Anchor in the Landscape, a book that brings together studied, absorbing portraits of olive trees in Palestine which act as fixed points in a historic and transforming landscape that is constantly disputed, altered, and destroyed.
‘OM/Mother (2023), published by The Eriskay Connection, with photos and texts by Hebron mothers + me and a text by Adam Broomberg, is nominated for the Book Award 2024!
With Issa Amro, Adam Rouhana, Barbara Debeuckelaere, Rafael Gonzalez we talk Palestine, resistance and art/photography. On 4th of July at 11 am. In Arles, Doubledummy studio
Adam Broomberg returns! The South African, Jewish artist updates us on his journey as a Palestine activist living in Germany, we discuss the censorship of anti-zionism in Germany and we also check in with ourselves and explore how this is impacting us all emotionally.
Artists + Allies x Hebron shares the grief we all feel about the continued loss of civilian lives.
We call for an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian aid accompanied by electricity and water, with fuel.
While we condemn the atrocities that began on October 7th we are equally aware of the state of things on the day before and the decades proceding it. The root causes are Israel’s apartheid and the systematic oppression and persecution of Palestinians.

Our founding member, the renowned human rights defender, Issa Amro has been beaten and detained multiple times and has recently been evicted from his home and our centre in Hebron.
Artists + Allies x Hebron condemn these illegal acts and stand by Issa in support and solidarity.
We, Salah Said, a German-Palestinian citizen, and Adam Broomberg, a Jewish German resident, address you today in the name of freedom and peace.
Therefore, we urge you to reconsider the bans on pro-Palestine peace demonstrations and take appropriate measures to ensure the protection of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly while respecting public safety and peace.
We are pleased to announce an open call for artists’ submissions for THE UNION magazine. You can find the submission form below as well as on the AAH Instagram page BIO. For any further questions don’t hesitate to contact AAH.
EPILOGUE: THE SOLIDARITY GAZE, Artists + Allies x Hebron (AAH)
In today’s highly interconnected world, intersectional solidarity serves as a light of hope and a powerful call to action. It forces us to recognize the common link between various struggles, such as Palestinian freedom, women’s rights in Iran, LGBTQ+ equality, and indigenous land and rights. All these movements share a core element: the resolute resistance against oppressive systems…
PART 3: THE BENEVOLENT GAZE, Artists + Allies x Hebron (AAH)
After more than 55 years of Israeli military control, the West Bank and Hebron’s old city have morphed into the quintessential chimaera of militarism in the digital age. From motion and heat sensors, license plate scanners, and 24/7 CCTV to advanced algorithmic facial recognition technologies, Hebron is akin to an Orwellian fantasy, where the single, malevolent gaze of a military watchtower spawns into an assemblage of electronic monitoring devices powered by computers and code…
