Ali Asfour 

A Palestinian analog film photographer based in Ramallah. My work explores themes of displacement, identity, and resistance while celebrating the resilience, culture, and traditions of Palestinian life. Through cinematic imagery and a focus on everyday moments, I aim to weave narratives that evoke longing and nostalgia, countering erasure and fostering a deeper understanding of my people's experiences. My photography serves as a testament to the Palestinian spirit, balancing beauty and adversity while inviting reflection and action toward justice.

My work has been exhibited locally and internationally, including my solo exhibition The Promise of Liberty at New York’s Institute of Arab and Islamic Art. It has also been featured in notable publications such as GQ Middle East, Atmos, The New Arab, Waastaa, Dazed Middle East, and Nowness Asia, helping to amplify the stories of Palestinian existence to audiences around the world.

In addition to my work in photography. I am a DJ and music selector with a deep passion for exploring diverse musical landscapes. My sets are inspired by various sounds and scenes, embracing rhythms and influences from different cultures and collectives worldwide. I also hosts a monthly show on Mutant Radio, SADAA: Echoes of the MENA, where I delve into the vibrant musical tapestry of the MENA region, connecting listeners to its rich, ever-evolving sound.
