This discussion was recorded following a screening of Khaled Hourani’s 2012 film Picasso in Palestine. It features Miriam Deprez (photojournalist), Jamal Nabulsi (diaspora Palestinian writer and researcher), and Remah Naji (Member, Justice for Palestine, Magan-djin), faciliated by Samid Suliman (Senior Lecturer, Migration and Security, Griffith University).

This discussion will contextualise the film against the decades-long history of the occupation of Palestine, reflect on the im/mobilities that it documents, and instigate an important discussion of the role and duty of the arts to act (transnationally and transversally) against dispossession, occupation, state violence, and genocide.
