No One is Safe

No One is Safe examines the ongoing forced displacement in Gaza and Sudan, the deportation campaign in the US and the parallels between these three powers.

Displacement, although appears to be a protective measure for civilians in areas under attack, is a tactic to terrorize civilians forcing them to live in a devastating and life-threatening conditions with one end goal: land control and the expansion of colonial territories. Displacement is not what follows an attack; it is what the attack is designed to do.

Civilians are forced to flee for their lives when they receive a leaflet instructing them to move to the nearest “safe shelter” such as the case in Gaza. Others are trapped in the crossfire of active gun battles between armed forces as civilians are in Sudan. In the United States, policing practices against civilians rely on racial profiling, public execution, protest control, mass deportation, inhumane detention, and separating families apart.

No One is Safe project performs an act of solidarity– from mother to mother, woman to woman, from one stateless immigrant to another. Each of these identities I embody has been marked by fear and anxiety for myself, my children, my family, and my community. Watching people across these three regions be forcibly displaced, detained or deported again and again, with nowhere left to go, is trauma-triggering. It lands like a needle piercing the skin, leaving me with one truth: No one is safe.
