Palestina 13

Poplar heeft een nieuwe reactie op uw bericht "Cinéma Arabe 2009" achtergelaten: Ken je dit?"Return of the Soul is a remarkable artwork - a sculpture of 3,000 wax figures - marking the artist's journey, which began in a former Nazi concentration camp in Poland, and via many UNRWA refugees camps, led eventually to the pulverised ruins of the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp also run by UNRWA in Lebanon.Scottish artist Jane Frere lived and worked with Palestinian refugees to 'capture emotions', as she prepared her installation, incorporating written and oral testimonies from victims of the mass exodus of 1948, known as the Nakbah, or the catastrophe of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine."
