October 4-November 8, 2025 - Gaza Habibti Photo Exhibit - Life in Gaza
    
Following its much-acclaimed success in May at MATCH downtown, the Gaza Habibti exhibit is now coming to the Arab American Cultural & Community Center (ACC), offering our community the opportunity to experience a showcase that has touched audiences worldwide.
 
The Gaza Habibti photography exhibition first began in 2009, when a group of photographers from Gaza set out to document the everyday lives of their people. Their work captures not only moments of struggle, but also resilience, humanity, and hope. Over the years, more than 20 photographers and photojournalists have contributed to this collective effort, offering a deeply personal window into Gaza’s untold stories.
 
At ACC, the exhibit will feature a carefully curated selection of photographs that reflect daily life, challenges, and perseverance in Gaza.
 
We invite you to visit and experience this extraordinary collection that honors both the beauty and resilience of the people of Gaza.

Time: Monday to Friday: 10am-3pm, Saturday: 10am-1pm
Location: ACC, 10555 Stancliff Rd., Houston, TX 77099
