The third annual conference accompanies the Palestinian Museum’s current exhibition “A People by the Sea: Narratives of the Palestinian Coast (1748-1948)” which repositions the Palestinian coast today within its broader socio-political and cultural contexts, by linking its materiality and future(s) to the colonial reality within which it is situated. The conference focuses on producing emancipatory knowledge about Palestine, the discourse of indigeneity and political and cultural approaches to this discourse, as well as research methods and approaches through which we can begin to ascertain and shape Palestine’s future.
