An in-depth dialogue with Palestinian filmmaker and visual artist Kamal Aljafari, whose cinema interrogates the materiality of images and the politics of representation. His films trace the spectral presence of Palestine within ruins, absences, and erasures, transforming fragments of memory into political and aesthetic gestures of resistance. Aljafari’s practice articulates a cinema of sovereignty, where abstraction and embodiment converge to reconfigure history and to offer the possibility of imagining a liberated future.

This conversation is moderated by curator, writer, and researcher into politics and contemporary art, Dr. Nat Muller.
