 Palestine.   The Photographers:  Aisha Mershani was born in Las Vegas, 
 Nevada, to an American Jewish mother and Moroccan Muslim father. Since 
 December 2003, Palestine/Israel has been the focus of her documentary 
 photography. The expression of resistance in everyday life is the primary 
 objective of her photographic work.   Lisa Nessan is a Jewish American 
 activist and photographer from the San Francisco Bay Area. Since September 
 2002, Lisa has conducted nonviolence trainings for hundreds of 
 international volunteers in the West Bank. She has worked with Israeli, 
 Palestinian and international organizations to facilitate support for 
 Palestinian communities threatened by, and nonviolently resisting, Israeli 
 military occupation and settler violence.     Please contact the
