Installation at Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam, November 2017

DDFP in co-creation with Gaza Camp in Jerash, presented in Rotterdam
Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam, november 2017
The Dutch center for contemporary culture 'Het Nieuwe Instituut' invited DDFP for their bi-weekly pop-in exhibition. For this occasion we put together a presentation of the products and video's that we developed in Jordan with Amman Design Week and the Gaza Camp in Jerash.

September this year, a team of Jordanian, Palestinian and Dutch designers collaborated with local craftswomen and men from the Gaza refugee camp in Jerash to develop a series of thought-provoking products. On the invitation of Amman Design Week, and hosted by Darat al Funun, DDFP had put together a program where the participants designed items in interchange with the artisans. They started to investigate in their production processes, historties, their skills, and made works that could pass on the stories that were shared and can reflect on the complex reality of the people in the camp. The results were on display in the pop-in Expo at De Nieuwe Instituut.

Pop-in Expo’s are bi-weekly changing presentations in the foyer, spotlighting a controversial new design, sensational research, work by an emerging talent or a new acquisition for the State Archive for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning.

Unveiled Souls
Design: Mariam S. Shukri (JO), Qusai al Saify (PS)
Production: Widad Sarhan, Aziza Abu Khatleh, Saber Abu Masoud (Gaza Camp, Jerash, JO)
Materials: Cotton, rope, rings
Behind the folds of this bag, beauty uncovers itself. Underneath every plication lies handmade embroidery inspired by Gaza patterns, representing lost memories brought together in one place made with dedication. This origami bucket bag was inspired by women in Gaza refugee camp, who unveiled their stories the more we got to know them.
Lullaby
Design: Fida Shafi (PS), Aya Abu Ghazaleh (PS, JO)
Production: Firas Rashid, Wisal Al Qadi, Asma Ayesh, Hadeel Abu Amrah (Gaza Camp, Jerash, JO)
Materials: Cotton, embroidery
Inspired by Palestinian mothers seeking refuge and their struggles to create a safe haven for their babies, the blanket emerged as a reminder of endless and unwavering love for their children and the desire to protect them. The lullaby lyric is rooted in the memories and convictions of the artisans, and exemplifies being thankful for a newborn baby and offering those passing by something to drink. It is an ultra-soft, double-layer cotton blanket with mostly green embroidery and cheerful orange and yellow stitches, featuring patterns from both Beer Al Sabe’ and Gaza. During the design process, the artisans song the lullaby, which you can hear by scanning the QR code.
Maisa
Design: Nour Nsheiwat (JO), Rebekka Fries (NL)
Production: Saber Abu Masoud(tailor), Zainab Abu Jamous, Yusra Abu Sil’a, Farha Khammash & Asma Ayesh (embroidery)
Materials: Textile of school uniforms, cotton embroidery
This apron captures the story of Maisa, who had the highest high school grades in Jordan. This would award Jordanian citizens a free scholarship for university, but because Maisa has no national ID number as a resident of the Gaza Refugee camp, she did not qualify. On the contrary, she was obliged to pay very expensive international fees, so she could not even afford to pursue her studies. She remained in the camp and gave up on her dreams. In response to Maisa’s story, this multi-functional and semi-professional apron was designed with fabric used for Jordanian school uniforms. It reflects on the fact that while the students in the Gaza camp very much focus on their education, their future career options are limited.
Za’atar w zeit
Design: Rand Abu Al-Sha’r (JO), Asja Keeman (NL)
Production: Hasan Abu Siam (bowls), Siham Abu Nimeh (embroidery), Saber Abu Masoud (Tailor)
Materials: Olive wood, fabric, embroidery, pulled string from rice or sugar bags
Olive trees represent bravery. The tree can live for hundreds of years, sometimes even thousands, providing an economic resource and bearing the fruit of life for generations of Palestinians. Drought-resistant and able to grow under poor soil conditions, the olive tree has multiple agricultural functions: to make oil, to light a fire, to be harvested for soap, and to provide protection from the sun. This is why the ‘Under the Olive Tree’ hat was created, to symbolise that notwithstanding any hardship. By wearing this hat you too embody resilience and stability and that by standing under this tree you are protected.
Carrying home
Travel pouch to never return to the camp
Design: Mohammad Ishtay (PS), Tessa Meeus (NL)
Production:Hadeel Abu Amrah & Asma Ayesh, Saber Abu Masoud (Gaza camp, Jerash, JO)
Materials: water resistant cotton, embroidery, metal rings for the strap
Do you have a specific dream? “I have simple dreams. A life where I can enjoy any rights as other people do. My dream is the dream of my father, my mother and my grandfather. To return to the soul of Palestine and live in my hometown.” What if you ever had a chance to go back to Palestine just for one day, what would you take with you? “I don’t want to take anything with me, all I want is to go back to Palestine.” Wouldn’t you need anything? “Maybe I would just take my phone to communicate with my family.” What would you bring back here? “Well, I’m not coming back to bring something with me. But if I have to come back, I’ll bring the soul of my land, and olives. And photos of Jerusalem, photos of my hometown, and the Palestinian land.” The pouch gives space all the documentation that you need while traveling, as a tribute to Hadeel’s dream, one of the artisans in the Gaza camp. The patterns designed on the shoulder strap are an iconic embroidery sample of different Palestinian cities and regions that are becoming distorted.

Heirloom seeds
بذور بلديّة

Seeds from the Palestine Heirloom seed library

Available seeds at Disarming Design from Palestine:
— Abu Samara (wheat)
— Bamyeh / Okra (ladies’ fingers)
— Molokhia (Jute Mallow)
— Sabanikh (spinach)
— Yakteen (gourd)
— Zinnia Sabella (flower, edible petals)
—
Bitinjan (Eggplant)
—
Kusa

On top of the political violence, Palestinian farmers also face the dangers of agribusiness with its corporate seed production and land dominance. But many of these farmers are the heroes who have been safeguarding the precious seeds, and the knowledge that these carry. Palestinian Heirloom seed varieties are under threat; many have gone extinct. These seeds have been passed down to us over the centuries, and carry in their genes the stories and the spirits of Palestinian indigenous ancestors. Aside from their cultural significance, these seeds carry options for our future survival as we face climate change and the erosion of agro-biodiversity worldwide. As such, it is urgent that we save heirloom seeds, and propagate them.

Founded by Vivien Sansour, the Palestinian Heirloom Seed Library project seeks to preserve and promote heritage and threatened seed varieties, traditional Palestinian farming practices, and the cultural stories and identities associated with them. Based in the Village of Battir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site outside Bethlehem, the library also serves as space for collaborations with artists, poets, writers, journalists, and other members to showcase and promote their talents and work. Working closely with farmers, the Library has identified key seed varieties and crops threatened with extinction, and provides opportunities to inspire local farmers and community members to actively preserve their bio-culture and recuperate their local landscape.

The library has also launched a global platform for conversations about bio-cultural heritage. Its Traveling Kitchen is a mobile venue for social engagement in different communities, promoting cultural preservation through food choices.

Established 2014, Bethlehem, Palestine

Design
  • Vivien Sansour (PS)

    Vivien Sansour (Palestine) is a believer in the magic of the simple things in life. This magic represented in her work where seeds and soil are brought to life through her practice as a conservationist and writer. Vivien feels at home in the fields where farmers plant their seeds and share their stories. In her practice, Vivien combines the work of conservation with the sensory world of image and sound. She works with farmers around the world to find and reintroduce threatened crop varieties, and collects stories to assert the ownership of seeds by communities and not companies.

    Vivien was born in Palestine and grew up in Bethlehem. She does not live in one particular place as her work takes her to different communities around the world – from Palestine, California, Central America and the Caribbean. She is the founder of The Palestine Heirloom Seed Library and the Traveling Kitchen project, both initiatives aim to bring seed heritage back to the dinner table so we can, “eat our history rather than store it away as a relic of the past”.

Exploring how design can be a vehicle for political resistance and solidarity Investing in conditions for a learning experience that focuses on economic, political and artistic independence How to present work online and reach the right audience? Extraordinary people working in areas where cultural expression faces challenges The effect of occupation on local design and how it restricts craft and product development What does it mean to be Palestinian today, and how to express that through locally made designs? Overviewing methods and exercises on oral tradition A place for knowledge exchange and community building in relation to contemporary design How can we reflect, integrate and interact with oral tradition? “The only thing that gets me going is sharing stories.” What roles do listening, remembering and going public play in the performance of oral history? Ticking needles, curious questions, whispering experiments, rhythmic embroideries and a ping pong of ideas Supporting students and designers on reviving their industries of handicrafts and innovative production Can we think of freedom beyond a logic of progress? Learning together while doing Creating space for artists to link their designs with local histories. A collaborative process with high emphasis on creativity, collaboration, making and quality We felt powerless and were struggling how to relate to this uncomfortable truth Crafts are a social act that relates to the sense of a place, how a community is built How can we envision a political horizon beyond the realities around us? "Today in Birzeit." What is ‘home’? When and where are we at home? How can we change our surroundings and how can design contribute to the quality of life?

The design is an invitation to the world to look closely Catalyse a broader view and prevent people from covering Reminding us to bear a greater responsibility towards life The false accusation may have ended, but the occupation has not Caring for identity is as important as protecting health itself Aside from their cultural significance, these seeds carry options for our future survival Catalysing a more open view and preventing people from covering over their own eyes when it comes to Palestine The more time we spend together, and listen, the more stories are unveiled A rapidly growing but comparatively small niche of Palestinian science fiction Sublime landscapes, tranquil urban scenes, frolicking children; who would associate these images with Palestine? “Record! I am an Arab, and my identity card is number 50 000” The Hirbawi factory is one of the only remaining factories to manufacture keffiyeh locally Wearing this unique piece on becomes both a political statement This apron shows what is the one and only recipe for its artist Our roots hold strong and silently in the earth Our trees are like our children The shared taxi is part of the West Bank urban landscape There are no possibilities of movement, since all the squares on the board are occupied Erasing the Israeli checkpoints from the landscape and envisioning a Palestine free from the occupation “We love life whenever we can” An illegal apartheid wall, on a scale impossible to imagine A flourishing craft industry established during the time of Roman rule in Palestine The artist decided to declare the existence of a non-existent state Only two soap factories survive today The occupation also takes part of the body and mind Living under occupation is an attack on people’s mental strength Most importantly they had the “Made in Palestine” tag on them The pattern of this keffiyeh is found and copied in Palestine Shoes have a long tradition as symbols of opposition and defiance You begin to realise that you have become yet another victim of the spell “I felt confused, between humiliation and joy" The birds’ freedom of flight and movement is in sharp contrast Behind each of these numbers there is a personal story The plates connect different locations in the world to Gaza The embroidery on this scarf is based on a traditional scarf in Gaza Travelling with a Palestinian Authority passport is still subject to many limitations Is it even possible to be neutral in situations of oppression? Why do we too rarely address the contemporary reality of this city and region Talking about Palestinian football is rare, although there is a national team This tailor-made garment is fragile Why can’t we be as generous as nature itself?

I am an Arab, and my identity card is number 50 000” The Hirbawi factory is one of the only remaining factories to manufacture keffiyeh locally Wearing this unique piece on becomes both a political statement This apron shows what is the one and only recipe for its artist Our roots hold strong and silently in the earth Our trees are like our children The shared taxi is part of the West Bank urban landscape There are no possibilities of movement, since all the squares on the board are occupied Erasing the Israeli checkpoints from the landscape and envisioning a Palestine free from the occupation “We love life whenever we can” An illegal apartheid wall, on a scale impossible to imagine A flourishing craft industry established during the time of Roman rule in Palestine The artist decided to declare the existence of a non-existent state Only two soap factories survive today The occupation also takes part of the body and mind Living under occupation is an attack on people’s mental strength Most importantly they had the “Made in Palestine” tag on them The pattern of this keffiyeh is found and copied in Palestine Shoes have a long tradition as symbols of opposition and defiance You begin to realise that you have become yet another victim of the spell “I felt confused, between humiliation and joy" The birds’ freedom of flight and movement is in sharp contrast Behind each of these numbers there is a personal story The plates connect different locations in the world to Gaza The embroidery on this scarf is based on a traditional scarf in Gaza Travelling with a Palestinian Authority passport is still subject to many limitations Is it even possible to be neutral in situations of oppression? Why do we too rarely address the contemporary reality of this city and region Talking about Palestinian football is rare, although there is a national team This tailor-made garment is fragile Why can’t we be as generous as nature itself?
