Performance
The latest story in Palestinian dancer and choreographer Farah Saleh’s ongoing project, the Archive of Gestures. Saleh explores what her body can and can’t re- member of her life in Ramallah in 2002 when, living under curfew, she returned to dancing after years of interruption. Working with video artist Owa Barua, Saleh recalls the daily gestures of her life in a period when her domestic space was her only site of physical freedom.
