Falastini Spirit in Color, on Canvas
This edition of Picture This highlights the work of Gazan artists creating under bombardment. Their paintings do not simply depict destruction, they preserve memory.

Like Guernica, these works stand as a refusal to let violence go unseen or unnamed.

Falastini Is Not Just Where You Are Born�In this reel, Palestinian artist, mother, and storyteller, Aseel Tayah shares how standing in the streets of Melbourne, surrounded by people who have never seen Palestine, don’t speak Arabic, and aren’t Palestinian, reshaped her understanding of belonging.

Through her words and her art, Aseel reminds us that being Palestinian is not a postcode, but a commitment: to remember, to carry stories, to refuse to let a people’s freedom, grief, and beauty be erased.

We Remember in Full Color

For Palestinians, our archives aren’t in state records; they’re in living rooms, in our grandparents’ voices, in every “let me tell you how it was.” In this reel, Abeer Shehadeh reflects on how memory travels through stories, not documents: a teta describing her village, a lullaby, a proverb in the kitchen. Storytelling is how Palestinians quietly insist on two simple words: we exist.

لقاؤنا السنوي… قلبٌ واحد لإعلامٍ عربيٍّ مستقل

في أجواء دافئة يملؤها الامتنان، اجتمعت أسرة جمعية “فارءه معاي – لدعم إعلام عربي مستقل (ج.م.)” في شفاعمرو ضمن لقائنا السنوي، لنستعيد معًا أبرز محطات عام 2025: من إعادة تسمية منصّتنا إلى “سين48”، إلى إطلاق النشرات باللغة الإنجليزية، مرورًا بتوسّع فريق العمل، ووصولًا إلى خطتنا لتنويع مصادر التمويل وتعزيز استدامة مشروعنا.

كان اللقاء مساحة صادقة للمشاركة وتبادل الآراء، وللأسئلة والحكايات التي تصنع معنى العمل العام؛ مساحة لتجديد العهد على مواصلة بناء إعلام عربي حرّ، مهني، ومستقل - رغم كل التحديات - وبإيمانٍ متجدد بأن الصوت المستقل يستحق أن يُسمَع وأن يُصان.

في هذا العام، أنجزنا 12 نشرة (9 بالعربية و3 بالإنجليزية)، قدّمنا خلالها أكثر من 300 مقال، و12 حلقة بودكاست، وأكثر من 30 فيديو قصير. كما انضم إلينا 185 مساهمًا ومساهمة جدد، في دليلٍ إضافي على اتساع الدائرة وتنامي الثقة بما نبنيه معًا. كما نواصل العمل والتطوّر لإتاحة مساحة أوسع للأصوات الحرة المستقلة، ولحكايات الناس وتجاربهم وحقهم في سردها بكرامة ووضوح.

شكرًا لكل من حضر وساند وشارك… ومعًا نحو عام 2026 بأفقٍ أوسع، وخطىً أثبت، وإيمانٍ أكبر بما نصنعه سويًا.

Giving Friday His Tongue Back

As a Palestinian citizen of Israel, Shareef Safadi watched the war on Gaza under a system that claims to represent him while silencing his people. Remembering Friday, the voiceless character in Coetzee’s Foe, he chose to make political videos so Palestinians in ’48 can speak in their own voice, in their own language.

In a time of erasure and distortion, Shareef’s work amplifies a new generation of ’48 Palestinians: proud, unapologetic, and part of one Palestinian people.

Staging Identity
This edition of Loud & Clear brings together reflections on how Palestinian identity is expressed, performed, and reclaimed in different forms of public and creative life.
Through theater, folklore, and architecture, contributions by Dr. Alaa Tartir, and Razan Zoubi Zeidani explore how identity is not only narrated but embodied. Each piece examines how cultural practice becomes a way of asserting presence, holding memory, and confronting erasure.

Both articles are available in Scene48. We invite you to read and reflect
