Abstract
'Lahza 2 ('moment' or 'glimpse' in Arabic) is a continuation of a project by 'ZAKIRA' to introduce photography to displaced children in Lebanon, in cooperation with the United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF. Initiated in 2007 by photojournalist and founder of ZAKIRA Ramzi Haidar, the first 'Lahza' project enables hundreds of children in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon to express themselves by taking pictures that were published in a book and exhibited in Lebanon, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. Nobody had predicted that an armed conflict would erupt in Syria in 2011. ... For a period of over nine months in 2013-2014, Ramzi Haidar, other members of ZAKIRA, and volunteers travelled across Lebanon to teach photography to 500 Syrian and Palestine Refugee children from Syria in tented settlements, from the South to the North, from Beirut to the Beqaa Valley."
