    Palestinian Museums, Museums for Palestine

    Palestinian Museums, Museums for Palestine

    In this episode of the Palestine Podcast we invite you to listen to a fascinating discussion on how Palestinian museums, in both Palestine and the diaspora, operate politically and culturally to open up new imaginations and social futures for Palestine and the Palestinians.



    The creation of a museum or archive is always a political act. At its worst, this act can be a move to relegate a people and culture to the historical past and put them on display for popular consumption, often as a product of colonial conquest. But museums and archives can be important tools in the struggle for decolonization and liberation as well. Here, they are about reaching into the past in order to support contemporary struggles and build alternative futures.



    About the speakers:



    Faisal Saleh is founder and executive Director of Palestine Museum US, a 6,000 square foot exhibit space dedicated to preserving Palestinian cultural history and telling the Palestinian story through the arts.



    Salim Abuthaher is a Palestinian academic and Acting Manager for The Palestinian Museum Digital Archive Project. His recent research interests are focused on indigenous studies, modern socioeconomic history, everyday space-time interactions, and urban political economy of Palestine and the MENA region.



    Nur Arafeh is currently working on her PhD in Economic Development at the University of Oxford.



    This event was hosted the Institute of Palestine Studies as part of their webinar series on ‘Active Palestinian Archives: Preserving Palestinian Culture and Heritage’, and we thank them for allowing us to use the audio of this webinar.

Praying God is Listening

Praying for Palestinians and asking God to listen. Praying he take the Zionist yoke from around the Palestinians’ necks. I’m praying God will give the rest of humanity the strength to confront Israel and put an end to the destruction of the Palestinian people. America and the rest of the world must stomp this evil out by making Israel come to her senses if she has any left!

Kato in Uganda ,

Extremely high quality and honest dialogue

Finding voices who see Palestinians as fully-formed human beings deserving of the most basic human rights is tragically difficult and very far removed from the “mainstream.” But for those who seek them out, these voices exist and are incredibly enriching. Thanks to all involved in bringing us these perspectives. Please do your part to humanize and liberate Palestinians everywhere by sharing this podcast with your loved ones and on social media.
