Rania Al Namara (Elhelo) - Beyond Borders: Bringing Artists Together Despite the Odds (Gaza Bonus Track)

from TIMEZONES – Season 2 by Norient

/

about

This bonus talk features a conversation with artist Kamal Aljafari and Alia Rayyan, one of the producers of the Timezones Gaza episode, about their experiences working virtually with Gaza artists. They share their insights on what it feels like to not be in the same location and what it means to work in a place like Gaza. The episode taps into the meanings and interpretations of space and place for Palestinian artists while collaborating and coming together from different locations and spaces.

In an attempt to use the best available technologies to make it possible, the interview was conducted and recorded via Zoom. Just like the episode itself, the production of this bonus talk mirrors and amplifies the challenges and constraints Gazans encounter in communicating with the outside world. In addition, this bonus talk elaborates on issues of representation and inclusion in experimenting with virtual platforms as potential free art spaces.
