Food and Fadwa by Aliya Khalidi (Copy)

Meet Fadwa Faranesh, an unmarried, 30-something Palestinian woman living in Bethlehem in the politically volatile West Bank under Israeli military occupation. Known for her delectable cooking and deep-seated sense of duty to her family and ageing father, our kitchen maven insists on continuing the preparations for the wedding of her younger sister, despite constraints of daily life under occupation. Politics blend with family tensions to create a sometimes humorous and sometimes heartbreaking meal. Food and Fadwa melds the fight a Palestinian family wages to hold onto its traditional culture with its need to celebrate love, joy and hope.

GAZA

GAZA

This is not an ordinary art exhibition, nor is it a solidarity event for Gaza, nor a protest outside embassies, foreign ministries, presidential offices, or city squares. It is a very humble attempt to preserve our humanity and affirm our resilience. It is a testament that we are alive, capable of reclaiming our role in preserving the remnants of life. Truly alive through action, striving to stop the genocide; this is a testament of action rather than mere prayer.
