Born in 1998, Manu Ferneini is a Lebanese photographer with a Bachelor of Arts in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from the University of the Arts London. After completing her undergraduate studies in 2019, Manu moved back to her home country, Lebanon, where she witnessed the spark of the ‘October Revolution’ — a significant chapter in the country’s history which rekindled her love for the place she had felt the urge to leave at 17. She is currently based between Beirut and The Hague, where she is pursuing a masters in Photography & Society at the Royal Academy of Arts. She is one of the twelve members of Collectif 1200 and an Arab Documentary Photography Program grantee.

The profits (AED438 / $119.25) of each print sold will be given to artists currently in Gaza and the West Bank.

Prints are available for AED495.00 ($134.77). Here are the costs:

• Printing and packaging: AED32.00 ($8.71)
• 5% VAT: AED25.00 ($6.81)
• Shipping: paid additionally by you, the buyer, and goes directly to the shipping company — no profits are generated from this.
• Transfer fees: this cost depends on the recipients choice of transfer method, but this will be covered by the facilitating parties, and will not impact the final profit value

Gulf Photo Plus has been selling artwork by regional photographers since 2013, sharing profits equally. For this sale, all profits will be transferred to the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC), which will then be distributed by AFAC to a group of Palestinian image-makers — how they use these funds is then wholly at their discretion. We will publicly provide proof of transfer at the conclusion of the sale.
