Visualizing Settler Colonialism: Films & Dialogue with Rehab Nazzal
Join Georgetown Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine, the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, the Arabic and Islamic Studies Department, and the Disability Studies Program for a screening and critical discussion with director Rehab Nazzal. This event features Nazzal’s short films, Vibrations from Gaza and Canada Park, followed by a dialogue with the director and two interdisciplinary panelists specializing in ecology and disability studies.
Canada Park interrogates the erasure of three Palestinian villages destroyed during the 1967 Israeli occupation and the subsequent establishment of a recreational park on their remains, facilitated by Canadian funding. Vibrations from Gaza offers a rare and poignant examination of the experiences of Deaf children living under conditions of colonial confinement in Gaza.
This event invites participants to explore pressing issues of ecological justice, spatial politics, and disability in contexts of conflict and occupation. Join us for an enriching discussion on resilience, representation, and the layered impacts of settler colonialism.
