Event overview
All welcome to join a screening of Jumana Manna's film followed by a discussion with Goldsmiths for Palestine
Please join us for a pay-what-you-can solidarity screening of Jumana Manna's film Foragers. Stay after the film for a discussion between Goldsmiths for Palestine (G4P) and Ros Gray, Lenka Vrablikova & Jol Thoms. Tea and sweet treats provided.
About the film:
Foragers (2022) by Jumana Manna depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs.
About the filmmaker:
Jumana Manna is a visual artist and filmmaker. Her work explores how power is articulated, focusing on the body, land and materiality in relation to colonial inheritances and histories of place. Through sculpture, filmmaking, and occasional writing, Manna deals with the paradoxes of preservation practices, particularly within the fields of archaeology, agriculture and law. Her practice considers the tension between the modernist traditions of categorisation and conservation and the unruly potential of ruination as an integral part of life and its regeneration. Jumana was raised in Jerusalem and lives in Berlin.
About Goldsmiths For Palestine:
Goldsmiths For Palestine (G4P) is a student led grassroots organisation that campaigns at Goldsmiths University and in the wider community for Palestinian liberation. It was formed in response to the start of Israel’s genocidal onslaught of Palestinians in Gaza after October 7th 2023, with the intention of highlighting the financial and ethical complicity of our own university, and to apply pressure on the management team to call out the murder and oppression of Palestinians and divest from companies that fund it.
