About the event

På engelska/In English: Repair, Return and Reconstruction for Palestine’s Decolonized Future
Kan lagningar och reparationer också hela samhällen som är märkta av kolonialism, trauma och historiska orättvisor? I Palestina är återuppbyggnad viktigt. Den utmanar inte bara den materiella förstörelsen av liv, land och infrastruktur som ockupationen orsakat, men även de djupa sår som bärs av människor i generationer. Men vad kan egentligen lagas? Kan vi finna nya sätt att återuppbygga, som återställer inte bara byggnader, men även miljö, minnen och motståndskraft?

Deltagare:

Khaldun Bshara, Assistant Professor at Birzeit University, Palestine

Dana Abbasm, Unit Director at Riwaq Center for Architectural Conservation, Palestine

Emilio Distretti, Research Tutor at the Royal College of Art, London

Husam Abusalem, PhD Researcher at the University of South-Eastern Norway

Samtalet leds av Didem Yildirim, som leder Världskulturernas pågående projekt Att väcka föremålen till liv och utmana museernas koloniala historier.

I samarbete med Utrikespolitiska institutet, Svenska Forskningsinstitutet i Istanbul och IASPIS - Konstnärsnämndens internationella program för bild och form.

På engelska
Beyond physical restoration, repair holds the power to heal communities scarred by centuries of colonial violence, unaddressed trauma, and historical injustice. In Palestine, repair becomes a vital act of diagnosis—confronting both the material destruction of life, land and infrastructure by occupation and the deep intergenerational wounds carried by its people. But what can truly be repaired? Can new forms of reconstruction emerge that mend not just buildings, but also the environment, memory, and collective resilience?

Participants:

Khaldun Bshara, Assistant Professor at Birzeit University, Palestine

Dana Abbasm, Unit Director at Riwaq Center for Architectural Conservation, Palestine

Emilio Distretti, Research Tutor at the Royal College of Art, London

Husam Abusalem, PhD Researcher at the University of South-Eastern Norway

Moderator for the talk is Didem Yildirim, who leads the ongoing project Bringing Objects to Life — and Challenging the Museums Colonial Histories at the National Museums of World Culture.

In collaboration with Swedish institute of international affairs, The Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul and IASPIS - the Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Program for Visual and Applied Arts.
