Next Liminal Spaces meeting - 25/26/27 of October 2007.

Abu Ghosh - Modi’in Ilit - Bil’in - Taybeh - Lod - Ramle - Jaffa - Holon

The travelling conference/ field trip LIMINAL SPACES 03 brings together academics, artists, architects and activists with the aim of examining the possibility of joint action in light of the ever-growing existential hardship of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and the subsequent deprivation of freedom of mobility and basic civil rights. The three-day event will focus on an often neglected aspect of occupation: the conflicts, confrontations and inconspicuous exchange between Jewish and Arab-Palestinian communities within Israel. The event will be staged as a guided tour with lectures, panel discussions and meetings in various locations such as Bil’in, Lydd/ Lod, Ramle, Jaffa and Tel Aviv, offering unique insights into the complex and ambiguous social and spatial reality of this conflict, following Frantz Fanon’s description of the relationship between colonizers and the colonized (”The Wretched of the Earth”, 1965)…
