Here in the west it is difficult to talk about this subject, we rarely know Palestinian culture, and are afraid to form an opinion on the conflict. With the aim of helping outsiders get familiar on the subject, I created a story, a personal story of a Palestinian family. I first presented this story as a Pecha Kucha presentation, then decided the print version of this story needed to be more than 20 pages.

Palestine - Israel - Conflict - Politics

After talking with my Palestinian flatmate in Germany I realised that I did not know a whole lot about Palestine. Reflecting on our conversation I also noticed that I felt uncomfortable, not sure how to engage, or what to say. But sometimes the best thing you can do is listen. I listened to his stories, did my own research, looked further into the history of Israel which led me to the colonial history of England. I created this book, a mix of facts, data, drawings and images of the UNRWA archive.

Bio

Born to an artist and a scientist I was destined to dip my feet in both worlds. I have a strong curiosity for thorough research and setting clear objectives and goals, while at the same time leaving space for serendipity and surprises that might change the path we're walking on.

Talking with people, and actually listening to them, asking questions, finding out what drives them is what intrigues me. My empathy and curiosity led me to different fields and jobs, and I thrive in situations where I keep on learning and developing my skill set. I love learning new things, not just in one field. This resulted in a messy CV, but the way I look at it is that I have a lot of transferable skills.  At this moment I am looking to join a team where there is room for collaboration, growth and empathy.

In my free time I am currently learning Python. I take analog photos and enjoy live music* and dancing.
*you can often find me at a Roda de Samba.
