Yura Collective and Palestinian Visual Narratives
A conversation with Mohammad Badarne and Salama Younes

Tuesday 12 May 2026 | 6:30 PM | Zoom

This conversation traces the work of Yura Collective in producing and documenting Palestinian visual narratives through the lives, places, and everyday details that often remain outside dominant accounts. Through collaborative projects with Palestinian photographers, filmmakers, and visual artists, including Untold Palestine, We Are Not Numbers, and Gaza, My Love, from which a video work is presented as part of the exhibition In That Same Hour. Yura brings together multimedia practice and visual storytelling to counter the ways Palestinian life is often flattened, sidelined and abstracted.

The conversation will be held in Arabic.
