Inas Halabi

Open Studio Residency

Event

12/12/2024 –

– 30/11

On the 12th of December, our resident Inas Halabi will be presenting elements from her current film project The Right of Return and recent research, including sound recordings from the locations of demolished Palestinian villages that have now been turned into Israeli national parks or nature reserves.

This research focuses on the erasure of the remains of these villages, how the planting of pine trees serves as another means of confiscating land and preventing the return of the original inhabitants, and the invisible violence that continues to occur in each location as the foreign trees grow.

During the Open Studio, Halabi will share elements from her recent research and work in progress for the film project The Right of Return, including audio recordings and experiments with alternative plant developers for 16mm film.

You are welcome between 19:00 and 21:00!

The residency of Inas Halabi is part of the residency collaboration between ReCNTR and 1646.
