DAAR
Research output: Contribution to journal › Literature review › Communication
Could a refugee camp be acknowledged as a World Heritage Site, one that exists beyond the parameters of the nation-state? To answer this question, Alessandro Petti and Sandi Hilal (working together as DAAR, the Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency) have conducted extensive fieldwork in Palestine, Hilal’s country of origin. As the title of their exhibition “Stateless Heritage” suggests, they have focused on the relocations of life and culture forced upon Palestinians by Israeli settlement since 1948, producing, in collaboration with UNESCO photographer Luca Capuano, a series of images depicting the leveled remains of forty-four Palestinian villages—the ancestral homes of approximately fifteen thousand refugees living in the Dheisheh camp near Bethlehem.
