“We cannot divide time into distinct crises when they exist simultaneously in the body.”
⎯ @palestinewritingworkshop on Instagram
We are reflecting what Korean American poet Cathy Park Hong ruminates in Minor Feelings: “at what cost do I have this life? At what toll have I been granted this safety here? […] I didn’t live through any of it, but I’m still a descendant of those who had no time to recover; who had no time, nor permission, to reflect.”
We are also thinking on and expanding some of the questions Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish raises in Memory for Forgetfulness: what are the meanings of exile and loss? In a time of war– what is one’s role? how does one mourn? Can one mourn? What does one do to keep going everyday? And what is the relationship of writing and filmmaking (time & memory) to history (remembering is precisely a modality of forgetting)?
With love and rage, this short film screening brings together works by Palestinian filmmakers/artists Qais Assali, Shuruq Harb & May Marei, in the hope of offering a desire or an energy for the audience to continually ask questions, to think, to act and to imagine another world is possible. -⎯ written by Hong-Kai Wang
