About this Event
PRESERVATION
THE ART OF STAYING HUMAN, WHEN YOUR WORLD IS ON FIRE…
Rather than presenting Palestinian identity as monolithic or reductionist, Preservation strives to draw upon the region’s multifaceted diversity – of history, culture, class, religion, and ethnicity – alongside a consideration of life under duress that might not be anticipated by the Canadian viewer. The work aims to give audiences perspective on Palestinian life from Palestinian artists, outside of a western-media lens.
