Photographer Alan Gignoux's "Homeland Lost" exhibition at London's P21 Gallery presents black and white portraits of Palestinian refugees alongside images of the locations where their homes once stood prior to the 1948 displacement. The subjects, who either directly experienced the Nakba or are descendants of those displaced, currently inhabit refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza, and their accounts describe the fertile lands and established communities they left behind.

The exhibition documents specific circumstances of displacement across different Palestinian villages, including recorded instances of violence and subsequent construction of Israeli facilities on former Palestinian settlement sites. Amongst the portraits showing endurance through continued survival, a notable image depicts Sana Abubkheet, the first Palestinian female Olympic athlete, in Gaza. Originally commissioned and created between 2004 and 2005, the exhibition resonates with additional historical weight when viewed following the recent Gaza military conflict.
