Tata and Seedo

Our grandparents carry wisdom and lessons of resistance.

This project is a growing series of portraits of grandparents related to the Palestinian experience. Whether that be about their childhood, their adolescence or how they’re living now. It could be about their school, or how they got to Jordan, or how they built a successful business or advocacy group abroad. I’m hoping to hear all kinds of stories that carry wisdom and methods of endurance and resistance despite all that has happened on this land..

These stories are important to document now more than ever. Our grandparents carry inspiring stories, and I hope to inspire others with their stories the same way they might have inspired you.
