“…His memorializing of place, and of memory itself, is part of a trend of Palestinian remembering as resistance. Hawari (2018) describes such shared practices of remembering as "a defiant act against a state which demands they forget, it is also integral to dealing with the societal trauma and point of rupture in 1948. Importantly it also highlights the existence of Palestine before the Zionist settler colonial project" (177).…”

“…Despite the physical detachment of de-territoriality, many Palestinian communities have found ways to build and maintain attachments to land, even among generations of refugees who have never seen the land.

1/1000th of a Dunam is a multimedia exhibition exploring Palestinian assertions of belonging through the site of soil, an epistemic space where land and belonging are imagined, where in reality they have been denied. For many Palestinians who keep a handful of soil with them across the diaspora, soil acts as a material stand-in for the nonmaterial memories tying them to home. This persistent refusal to forget plays a key role in resisting the settler-colonial impetus to sever ties between Palestinians and the land. In the face of Israeli denial of both Palestinian histories and futures, the project 1/1000th of a Dunam looks at one way that memory is revived and attachment to land renewed: through the symbolism and materiality of Palestinian soil.
