Provoked Narratives

““Provoked Narratives” is an invitation, in this time of genocide and ongoing aggression, to understand the narratives created around Palestine as part of a long colonial project, a blueprint of violence. To consider the ways in which the camera, since its very inception as a new tool, has played a conflicted role in the project of empire. To consider how images have been co-opted, and to see how images can also resist.“

‘I Don’t Want To Forget Who I Am’

“Mahmoud Al-Shaer is a Palestinian editor, curator, poet, and cultural organizer. He is currently living in al-Mawasi, in the south of Gaza, with his wife Hadil and his three-year-old daughter Nai. His young son, Majd (the twin brother of Nai), had to be evacuated to Turkey with his grandmother, Mahmoud’s mother, for emergency medical care. Both are now receiving critical medical treatment in Ankara; the family has been separated for almost one year. And yet, despite overwhelming odds, Mahmoud Al-Shaer continues, insistently, to write, to try to reach out and connect, to communicate what is happening since his whole world fell apart. Below is an edited selection of texts that Mahmoud has been publishing as updates on his fundraising campaign.”
