‘Landing’ blends photography, prose, and poetry by Maen Hammad, a photographer based in Ramallah. It documents the lives of Palestinian skateboarders in the occupied West Bank, exploring skateboarding as a powerful form of resistance to a backdrop of violence and erasure amidst the layered realities of Israeli settler-colonial domination. Captured between 2015 and 2022, Hammad’s images depict the ephemeral moments of purposeful escape and the pursuit of freedom embodied by a small collective of Palestinian skaters. These visuals are expanded on through critical essays, poems, and interviews – a printed portal into the Palestinian skate scene.
