Future Projects
Now in the early stages of development is our next project. Its title RESOLUTION.
The Israeli/Palestinian conflict continues unabated. It is, in essence, a struggle over a piece of land between two peoples, both with passionately held cultural, religious and political beliefs. And who both paint very different pictures of past and present history.
As contemporary history has chronicled, thousands have perished and have been displaced in this deadly tug-of-war. Much of the Palestinian land on the West Bank has been transformed by Israeli settlements.
Dozens of negotiation attempts have been made to resolve the issues of sovereignty, border delineation, security, right of return for Palestinian refugees, allocation of natural resources, personal freedoms and human rights.
The sad reality is that politics, politicians and international governmental entities have absolutely not been able to find a just and viable resolution, an endgame that goes beyond a singular cessation of direct combat.
In an envisioned series of programs designed to confront difficult and complex issues RESOLUTION will turn to a cross-section of the international civil society: academics, students, activists, artists, and critically citizens of the regions who have been directly impacted by their immediate histories. In the case of Israel/Palestine their collective mission is to research, analyze, strategize and ultimately draft a position paper; an equitable, viable and enforceable formula for resolving this completely untenable situation.
In our time of pandemic and lockdown, the scenario for actualizing this mission is a crowd sourced participatory documentary production. As designed, our twelve-session exploration, with 12 participants, will examine the past, present and future of the region in real time. The goal, to put this on-going conflict into a human context; to facilitate an understanding of the issues at hand and build a foundation upon which a viable resolution scenario can be found.
