Landscape, Image, Palestine: Recounting as an act of Refusal

𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙍𝙚𝙚𝙢 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙖𝙨 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙞

Taking Inas Halabi’s exhibition 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴كي لا ننسى (𝘒𝘢𝘺 𝘓𝘢 𝘕𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢) at La Loge as a starting point, this conversation unfolds across five thematic fragments, exploring the role of landscape and image in the context of Palestine. Reem Shilleh presents fragments of films and archival material that reveal how histories of land and displacement are mediated through moving image. In response, Inas Halabi reflects on her artistic practice and research, and on the role of landscape, where recounting becomes not only an act of remembrance but also an act of refusal. Together, they invite the audience to consider the landscape not as mere background, but as witness, a living archive that carries the histories of both place and people.
