Mapping Palestine

This research began at the Library Innovation Lab at the Harvard Law School in 2017 and continues as part of my doctoral research. The project seeks to demonstrates the fractured cartography of Palestine, from place names to border delineations. It incorporates different media such as historical and GIS maps, written text, photography and film.

Informed by the extensive archive at the Harvard Map Collection, scholarship around the censorship of satellite imagery and the presentation of destroyed villages through interactive maps, the research examines the ways we have (re)imagined and (re)drawn the land over the past 100 years, particularly around the partition of Palestine in 1948. You can find out more in this piece: Counter-mapping the Archive .
