The Jerusalem Show, Outside the Gates of Heaven

The Jerusalem Show (‘Ala Abwab Al Janna) borrows its English title from the vivacious and atypical formats of the Saturday Night Live show and the Muppet Show, whereas its Arabic title ‘Ala Abwab Al Janna (Outside the Gates of Heaven) references the sacramental veneration that is bestowed on Jerusalem. A similar ludicrous dichotomy is ostensible to Jerusalem’s inhabitants (including us at Al-Ma’mal Foundation). Read more

Larissa Sansour

Land Confiscation Order

�Land Confiscation Order� (2006): In her 10 minute video installation presented for the Jerusalem Show, Larissa Sansour explores the idea of territory as a constituent of both national as well as personal identity. Larissa questions the �dream of a viable statehood� through a visual dictation of the story of her own family�s confiscated land; as we witness her sister and brother attempting to drape a stone house with black cloth, as though planning for the requiem of the land. The video was presented in The Tile Factory, New Gate, Old City.
