Description
Architecture of Commonality Grounds for Hope is an edited collection of essays that explores the role of museums and cultural institutions in Palestine and the Arab world.
The book is guided by reflections on the Palestinian Museum in Birzeit, which won the 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The museum's history serves as a framing device for a diverse range of voices to reflect on the significance of architecture in memorialization, curatorial strategies in conflict situations, and the blurred boundaries between architecture, landscape, and land art.
The essays are structured around four main themes: Stones, Seeds, Voices, and Walks. This collection invites reflections on the positive role cultural institutions play in planting hope for the future and locating conversations within the political and historical framework of the region.
