The Missing Image: Future Campus Talk with Kamal Aljafari
Free admission| Event in English
Hosted by: Alessandro Stellino
To what extent can the real and figural materiality of an image become an abstraction or, potentially more, a spectrum? Amidst fragments of memories and images of a people beset with the insignia of erasure, Kamal Aljafari’s cinema presents chapters of an unfinished story, all at once personal and communal. The Palestinian director and artist has created a poetic filmography marked by restlessness, devising an elaborate mise-en-scene with different modes of resistance against the systematic attempts to destroy subjects, places, and the symbolic field that attest to a Palestinian existence.
