“New Ways of Seeing” Field Visit to Haifa

April 5, 2019

Al-Marsad, in cooperation with the Fateh Moudarres Centre for Arts & Culture, recently hosted a new interactive youth workshop within its innovative cultural project, "New Ways of Seeing."

The workshop, which was organized by local volunteers in cooperation with university students and led by a local university student, aimed to highlight the marginalized groups that make up the fabric of Haifa.  The workshop was extremely helpful in identifying the remains of historical monuments that serve to contextualize the history of the region, including the native collective memory and the dissolution of indigenous peoples. The workshop also emphasized the dynamics of urban planning and the role of ideology in shaping public spaces and defining "modernization."
