maandag 13 januari: Palestine in Focus – ‘Archiving versus Erasure’ – IISG Amsterdam

Over more than a year, we have had to witness how Israel has increasingly targeted both Palestinian archives and archivists in the ongoing invasion and genocide of Palestine and its people. The destruction of Palestinian heritage is a form of “epistemicide,” used by the Israeli state, to wipe out Palestinian histories, culture, sovereignty, and identities since the Nakba of 1948. In their talks, dr. Jamila Ghaddar and Leila Musson both touch on different consequences of this destruction.
