In Between the Verses Winging from Hill to Hill, All Was Utterly Silent
Darat Al Funun, Amman, Jordan
November 10th-December 10th 2024
Self-led residency and public program in collaboration with Nour Bishouty as part of the Projects At The Lab: Palestine: The Moment Before Tomorrow.
In Between the Verses Winging from Hill to Hill, All Was Utterly Silent is a collective research project by Nour Bishouty and Adrian Schindler that centers on unofficial and peripheral modes of publishing and dissemination as forms of resilience and preservation within cultural narratives overwritten by dispossession and displacement. Focused on the biographical—particularly the lives of Palestinian intellectual Najati Sidqi and Nour’s grandfather, Habib Bishouty—the project explores languages of resistance and forms of collective mourning expressed through texts, songs, and personal letters that exist outside traditional literary frameworks. For the duration of the project, The Lab at Darat al Funun will assume the character of a postal office, inviting participants to engage in acts of writing, reading, announcing, addressing, and publishing.
A reading-writing group will gather over three consecutive days—between the 21st and 23rd of November (4-7 PM) —at Darat al Funun and other historical sites, to discuss selected texts and participate in collaborative writing exercises. The group is open to participants whose current work, practice, or research intersects with the themes of the project and who are interested in reading, writing, and historical research. Professional expertise is not required.
The sessions will be conducted in both Arabic and English.
