movingcities interviewed Alessandro Petti and Sandi Hilal on their new project, 'Decolonizing Architecture'. Set up in collaboration with Eyal Weizman, and produced by the Haudenschild Foundation, the project attempts to use architecture as an “arena of speculation” about possible futures of Palestine.
moving from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, we crossed the ‘concrete chainsaw’ as the French-Israeli director Simone Bitton calls the West Bank Wall in her documentary film Mur. Experiencing this separation and division in space, time and of people through walls and checkpoints, it is impossible to remain uncritical. A last post on Bethlehem.
movingcities spend two days in Bethlehem, in the residency studio of Alessandro Petti and Sandi Helal. Both have been working in the past on Stateless Nation and are now curating together with Eyal Weizman a project entitled Decolonizing Architecture. More news on this project in the coming days. For now, a first series of pictures from behind the West Bank Wall.
