‘Between Sky and Sea’ photo exhibit showcases the life of displaced Gazans: ‘Not just war and rubble’ Gaza in the photos of Palestinian photojournalist and filmmaker Ismail Abu Hatab is more than destruction and despair.

The life of displaced Gazans is the focal point of this free exhibit at the Walls Turned Sideways space in East Garfield Park. There's an ambient sound that plays overhead to supplement the viewing experience...drones, sounds of the sea, children. It's very moving.

Thurs-Saturdays through Aug. 23.
