Palestine, Palestine, Palestine, Palestine

12 min

Color

The sound of clicking slides, together with extracts from a speech by Palestinian leader Haidar Abdel-Shafi and a heart-wrenching song by Fairuz, frame still pictures of houses long abandoned, cities that have grown and changed in the absence of their original inhabitants, and a beautifully embroidered Palestinian gown.
