The second is a screenshot from the film Canada Park by Razan AlSalah. The image shows the people of Imwas, Yalo and Beit Nouba returning to the site of Canada Park, an Israeli national park transplanted over the destruction of their villages by the Israeli Occupation Forces in 1967.
Land and Accessible Futures: Stories of Resistance and Survival is composed of two separate events, an online panel and an online exhibition, that will address the topic of Land and accessible futures by bringing together artists, educators, activists, and researchers aka storytellers from all over the Earth; from Turtle Island to Palestine, from Jordan to Lebanon, from Egypt to Tunisia and Iraq. Our storytellers, grounded in the lived realities of the Land from which they speak, will take us through stories of survival, resistance, and longing for liveable futures.
