Joe McLean, The Continual March (DOCUMENTARY & STREET 2024)

This image was taken in Sydney city as part of the weekly pro-Palestine rallies that have occurred throughout the Israeli-Hamas conflict. I wanted to depict a softer element of the social movement, depleted of common portrayals of tension and anger. Instead, conveying the familiarity and relationship of the urban landscape to the people, their movement and each other. It is a testament to the power and gravity of social movements, and the ability of these to form a collective in time and place.
