Better Entry Presents "Permit to See: A Disposable Camera Project Supporting Gaza through Art"

Better Entry, an artist-run collective dedicated to supporting and connecting artists with industry creatives, is launching Permit to See, a powerful charity art initiative using disposable cameras as a medium for storytelling.

Permit to See brings together six artists from across the art and fashion world, each given a film camera to capture personal narratives through their own lens. Alongside them, Majdi Fathi, a Gaza-based photojournalist who has been documenting the realities on the ground since the beginning of the aggression, will be contributing a series of digital photographs as prints for sale. Images from the disposable cameras will remain unseen and undeveloped until they are raffled online from May 9th-16th, where each winner will decide whether to share them publicly or keep them private —raising questions about visibility, ownership, and the preservation of personal and collective histories.

All prints are 8 × 10 inches, printed on 310gsm Canson Platine Baryta paper with a variable white border.

Printing and shipping services will be provided by PRINTLAB Chicago.

Developing and scanning services will be provided by pink folder film house.

All raffle proceeds will be donated to several nonprofit organizations providing humanitarian aid, education, and healthcare to children impacted by the crisis in Gaza.
