About this Event
Inspired by Materiality of Memory, T A P E take a moment to recognise intangible modes of history, namely oral storytelling between generations of women and its significance in preserving memory.
Leaving her village to follow her dream of becoming an actress, Hiam Abbass also left behind her mother, grandmother and seven sisters. Thirty years later, her filmmaker daughter Lina returns with her to journey through the vanished places among the scattered memories of four generations of daring Palestinian women.
Set between past and present, Bye Bye Tiberias pieces together images of today, family footage from the nineties, and historical archives to tell the stories of Abbas’ resilient women ancestors, who keep their story and legacy alive through the strength of their bonds, despite exile, dispossession and heartbreak.
