Reclaiming Homeland - Anticolonial Tuesdays

by CrisisMirror

Crisis Mirror has seized the opportunity to transform the ground floor of Folkets Hus in an open anticolonial room. Looking and hearing at the experience of colonized people, the obstacles that imperial forces set to their lives, the daily fights they go through to reclaim their right to their land, is not just a way to acknowledge their situation. It also poses valid questions to our existence as revolutionary subjects: When enough is enough? When do we stop being passive to the sight and sound of injustice? When do we actively partake in anti-colonial struggle, confronting dispossession and occupation by resistance and solidarity?

The siege is lying in wait.
It is lying in wait on a tilted stairway
in the midst of a storm.
We are alone. We are alone to the point
of drunkenness with our own aloneness,
with the occasional rainbow visiting.
We have brothers and sisters overseas...
kind sisters, who love us...
who look our way and weep.
And secretly they say
"I wish that siege was here, so that I could..."
But they cannot finish the sentence.
Do not leave us alone. No.
Do not leave us alone.

She continues, "when they took me to Palestine, I felt so happy and so much in pain. It was my first time in Palestine, and I was handcuffed". She had been captured by the Lebanese army for a guerilla operation on the borders with Palestine, then handed over to IDF for further interrogation, ending indefinite detention in the prison of Khiam. She, among a group of women recollect their time in the prison of Khiam, the heavy hours of isolation, trying to not break by holding tightly to each other's sanity and resilience. The second work, "Palestinian Women", is a collection of short interviews where Palestinian refugee women in and out of Palestine, of various backgrounds and positions, improvise a discourse on the national and gender aspect of their struggle against the Israeli occupation. Different to a high degree, the two films jointly look at Palestinian women resisting silence, convinced otherwise that their stories must be heard. Stories of anger, compassion, and resistance, armed or not, they know their voices must be heard.

All movies will be screened with english subtitles.
