Brief About The Project:
In a context like Palestine, where the struggle on land is not confined to its surface, but also extends to the underground, the act of burial and the cemetery it hosts take on an inevitable political dimension. While aiming at exploring the function of the cemetery beyond its utilitarian role, the project is intended to exploit the potentials of the cemetery’s program, high spiritual experience, and collective symbolism to establish facts on ground on politically contested territories.
