Thamra, which means “fruit” in Arabic, was created in 2024 by two Palestinians: farmer Yousef Abu Rabea and photographer Leena Almadhoun. Displaced as a result of the genocide, Yousef managed to hastily collect dry seeds and seedlings before evacuating his family farm. Yousef and his brothers later sowed the seeds and planted the seedlings, eventually allowing them to feed their family and share fresh vegetables with the surrounding community. Understanding self-sufficiency as a path to dignity during a painful time, Thamra supports Palestinians who lack the resources necessary to grow fresh, nourishing food.
