Un dialogo su arte e diaspora palestinese
NABIL SALAMEH AND LUIGI C. CAZZATO
Abstract
For the colonizer, controlling language, and thus culture, is as fundamental as controlling the military and the economy. Words become a weapon to normalize oppression and make the suffering of the colonized invisible. Palestinian diaspora culture and art can be the ground on which the battle for liberation from the Israeli oppressor can be fought. Poetry, literature, film, music, sculpture, painting, graphic design, critical thinking, become an (aest)ethical challenge and political resistance. In short, one fights coloniality by challenging the dominant narratives of the Israeli settler, preserving the Palestinian collective memory, and building a critical and resilient consciousness. The interview with Nabil Salameh faces these and other crucial issues for the liberation struggle and, thus, for a postcolonial Palestine.
