Ashraf Al-Afifi’s journey was extraordinary. Living through the harsh realities of war in Gaza, he chose to amplify voices instead of fading away. Through his project Speech as a Need, Ashraf and his fellow artists captured daily stories, thoughts, and emotions of displacement during the war—many never heard before.
