‘What does looking ahead, look like?’ Sarona Abuaker.
Designer, Poet, Architect, Filmmaker: four leading Palestinian creatives join us to discuss realities and representations of Palestine’s past and present, and to concentrate on the futures we might imagine into being through their radical and important work. Sharing readings, short films, landscape plans, blueprints, and design briefs, we explore how these fields play a vital role in shaping a Palestine under occupation, but also how they have the potential to liberate our imaginations beyond circular arguments of conflict, security, and terror, towards a free, inclusive and just society for Palestinians going forward.
