An Invitation to Palestinians Across the World [Hat tip: Amal]
Work started on the preparation of an exceptional book with a new concept “Jerusalem in exile – tangible memories” by artist Steve Sabella. The book seeks to explore the visual images of Jerusalem in the minds of Palestinians who live in the Diaspora, as well as Palestinians who live in Palestine but are incapable of reaching their city. The project will photographically materialize the various mental images Palestinians have of Jerusalem in their memories and imagination. These participations will be presented on the "Jerusalem in exile" web site, and this art experience will be documented in a book which will be edited by poet Najwan Darwish. The book will compile various testimonies and texts on Jerusalem and other related subjects by a number of distinguished Palestinians artists, intellectuals and participants.
The work will also be inaugurated in Jerusalem in the form of an exhibition and will subsequently tour various cities globally. CLICK HERE for Steve Sabella’s art statement, which presents the art project’s idea and includes an invitation to participate in the art project.
Your contributions will be published on the web site that will create a visual bridge through imaginings and memories that will connect Palestinians from all over the world with Jerusalem. Some of these contributions will form the book Jerusalem in exile tangible memories.

Steve Sabella is awesome
Have you checked his website.
What a sensitive guy and a talented photographer.
His photos are really sensational.
Israel has no history in the Middle East, but the Palestinians do. The Jews have much history there.
If the Israelis would have only blended into the land and accepted everyone who lived there this conflict would never have happened!
They couldn't do it because they were the persecuted race!
Zionism took over!
20/20 hindsight.
Selfcentered feelings and the-world-owes-us attitudes ruled them in the 1940's.
The Palestinians lost.
Sad, very sad.
