Past Tense Continuous

Palestine | 2014 | 11 min | Fiction What if the Palestinian refugees had returned to their villages and towns, to their homes and fields? What if they had returned to Haifa, Jaffa, Al-Masmiyya and Acre, the artist wonders, as her black and white families walk across the city in a continuous forced journey that began 70 years ago. This reenactment playing with images imprinted in the Palestinian collective memory creates a space for intervention into the story, when what happened did not only happen in the past, but is also happening now.
