Presentation on the photographic series

Home in Exile
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland?
The collection attached shows a series of photos taken from a demonstration for Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh at Hermannplatz in Berlin. We see young Palestinians and other Arabs gather together to shed light on the violence imposed on Palestinian detainees left in jail without charge. Seen clearly as a repetitive theme in the photos is the Keffiyeh, the traditional patterned scarf marking Palestinian identity and symbolising the struggle for self-determination. Here, the youth carries the story of their ancestors and proceeds to send the message of hope to keep fighting for liberation. Because of the exile of over 80% of the Palestinian population after 1948, a large younger Palestinian population lives in diasporic communities. Activities such as solidarity gatherings help raise awareness about underexposed headlines from Palestinian territories and life under occupation.
