Symposium registrants will receive instructions for signing up to visit the VR exhibit, which includes hundreds of videos and images using a 360-degree camera which takes footage of daily activities in Gaza.

The vast majority of the locations captured are historical places in the Gaza Strip before they were destroyed.

This includes images and videos of historical monuments, cultural sites, public squares, universities, schools, cafes, streets, agricultural areas, parks, beaches, markets, and amusement places.

This is in addition to capturing Palestinian culture through weddings, stitching workshops, dabke, palm harvesting, clay and pottery making, and other hand-made professions.
