| 29/09/2017: This family workshop was inspired by the seminal work of Grassroots Jerusalem, one of the partner institutions in the “Jerusalem Lives” exhibition, on taking ownership, imagining and mapping our own city, Jerusalem. The 65 participating children, young people and parents worked together with the help of a professional collage artist to rethink their perceptions of the city of Jerusalem, and the neoliberal colonial and imperial challenges the city faces. Next, the participants fictionalised their roles as individuals confronting these challenges through designing a map of Jerusalem as they imagined it will be 10 years from now, by collaging different media. The outcomes of the workshop will be uploaded on the Palestinian Museum’s website as a virtual exhibition for the general public to view and engage with. |
