How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Diasporas helping their communities: what is it like to assist communities during a crisis? Una madre cabeza de hogar en una humilde casa construida con sus manos sobrevive principalmente del aprovechamiento de los recursos del mar. Mientras en las noches en una playa turística se encuentra una hoguera, que nos recuerda que tenemos un hogar lejos de aquí, le damos a conocer ello a las demás personas con nuestro folklor, nuestras voces hermosas cantándole a la vida, a las ballenas jorobadas cuando nos visitan para dar a luz a sus vallenatos, nuestro baile cautiva porque esos movimientos vienen en nuestra sangre y nos lo heredaron nuestros ancestros que nacieron muy lejos. Las condiciones no son las mejores pero somos creativos fusionamos lo antiguo con lo nuevo, somos el pasado y a la vez el futuro.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland?, Diasporas helping their communities: what is it like to assist communities during a crisis? Despite of being in a new land, while trying to adopt to the new condition, by learning a new language, new foods with new community and rules, still diasporas are keeping their own traditions as well. for example, by baking their own bread in the camp and making sure all the diasporas getting some. Youth and children are learning new skills like photography, riding a bike and learning a new language. Diasporas know and feel each other's struggle and during the crisis, they will make sure their communities are supported as much as possible. All will eat or no one will eat. That is what I have leant from diasporas.

La vida de los ucranianos cambió de un día para otro. Miles de ellos se vieron desplazados forzosamente en búsqueda de lo que antes era tan normal: la paz.

    Desde el centro de acogida y rodeada de niños y niñas que buscaban un nuevo hogar me interpelé varias veces: ¿Volverán a casa? ¿Se acordarán dentro de 20 años de la plaza de su pueblo o de los amigos del colegio? ¿Se reencontrarán con sus familiares que se quedaron luchando por una causa -quizás- ajena a ellos? ¿Cómo conectarán con su tierra natal?

    Este niño me miró, me vio disparar una foto y me regaló a mí y a mi cámara analógica este gesto tan bonito. Ya no sé nada de él, ni si algún día volverá a su tierra y defenderá su cultura como propia, pero espero que recorra el mundo llevando, como dice Drexler, su sonrisa como bandera.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland? The title, "LAND OF EVER RETURN" intentionally points out to the unending fact that no matter where we go around the world, we consciously or unconsciously cannot but remember where we come from. Most time our identities is influced and can be traced back to our homeland. There's a saying that " There is no place like home". This statement cannot be over emphasised and that is why i chose this tile for my category of photos (unedited and mobile photography). I hope the world is able to see this part of the world from my perspective. I am glad for the opportunity to introduce my Art to the world through photos. Thanks

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland? The collection attached shows a series of photos taken from a demonstration for Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh at Hermannplatz in Berlin. We see young Palestinians and other Arabs gather together to shed light on the violence imposed on Palestinian detainees left in jail without charge. Seen clearly as a repetitive theme in the photos is the Keffiyeh, the traditional patterned scarf marking Palestinian identity and symbolising the struggle for self-determination. Here, the youth carries the story of their ancestors and proceeds to send the message of hope to keep fighting for liberation. Because of the exile of over 80% of the Palestinian population after 1948, a large younger Palestinian population lives in diasporic communities. Activities such as solidarity gatherings help raise awareness about underexposed headlines from Palestinian territories and life under occupation.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? El mutismo propio de las pausas reflexivas, esas que se suscitan a diario, nos conduce hacia ese momento enmarcado en un universo otro dentro del paisaje y/o acción mecánica en los cuales estamos inmersos. A través de una maniobra subjetiva vienen atraídos hacia nosotros tanto la experiencia personal y la identidad como las transformaciones sociales propias de nuestra nación, que ya no habitamos. Así, no solo hay silencio sino pausa reflexiva, caótico movimiento, intenso soliloquio, acaso una adivinanza donde olvidamos que nunca estamos tan solos. Nunca.

    Los lugares que conocemos han sido robados por otros ojos. Los lugares que conocemos, nos desconocen; estamos ausentes y presentes, diluidos. Ir y venir y viceversa. Cada reflejo anuncia una mirada vacía hacia esa ciudad que duerme, llena de líneas y de sombras con pieles, de espantapájaros y espantasueños, de ruiseñores roncos, de espejos vacíos.

The photos I chose to submit for the iDiaspora photo contest were taken at a specific border point between Colombia and Venezuela, namely, the Simón Bolívar International Bridge near Cúcuta, Colombia. I attended the re-opening of diplomatic, commercial, and travel relations between Colombia and Venezuela, countries which have been both friends and foes since their inception in 1810. On opening day, I witnessed boundless kindness from local Colombo-Venezuelans, in spite of the difficult political tensions in the region. Venezuela and Colombia have been hit hard by the pandemic and ensuing economic crisis, adding to long-lived dire humanitarian conditions fueled by violence, corruption, and external pressures. My photos are dedicated to the locals who made an effort to help their fellow travelers, despite these tenuous times. They show the often-forgotten humanity behind the two Bolivarian countries' long relationship and the histories that bind the two nations together.

Here are these photos that have expressed that everyone from child to old thinks their belonging and is a sea.
    2nd Photo: child and man might have arrived in a new country and this boy is unaware of it. his father is with him and with his bike in the park. Child may not remember all that happened in his old country. only the moment he remembers, maybe the smell of his father and the sound of the birds.
    3nd Photo: Sometimes you use technology for pleasure, sometimes just to call your loved ones and hear that they're okay. In this picture the man is riding a new technology bike and he has a dog. Isn't it different, one longing for the other and another in another country. think about it.

How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies? ¿Cómo expresa la diáspora su sentido de pertenencia en diferentes sociedades?
    Integrándose paulatinamente dentro la comunidad callejera, puesto que al llegar la comunidad haitiana a Tijuana no contaban con absolutamente nada que fuera un par de prendas y necesidad por un bienestar. Laborando en fábricas o pidiendo limosnas. La situación fue crítica, pero con el paso del tiempo se lograron integrar incluso en actividades tan cotidianas como ir al típico sobre ruedas de la parte céntrica de Tijuana. Con el paso del tiempo hemos aprendido de ellos como viceversa, pero todo logrado gracias a esos pequeños acercamientos e integraciones sociales paulatinas en las actividades cotidianas tijuanenses.
