What Will We Do Without Exile?

What Will We Do Without Exile? is an immersive, multi-sensory installation that creates a lush world within a refugee tent, inviting audiences to imagine life beyond occupation.

Inspired by the refusal of its people to stop imagining tomorrow, even in the face of genocide, the installation celebrates the natural and cultural richness of Palestine, past, present, and future. As audience members sit among orange and olive trees, listen to a soundscape, and read a newspaper from the future, they are transported to harvest season in a liberated land, where the seeds of freedom sown during long decades of struggle have borne fruit at last.

What Will We Do Without Exile? honours the strength and sacrifice of colonised people and imagines a world where they have not only won their liberation, but where their resilience, ingenuity, and relationship with the land are recognised as examples for humanity in crisis.
