September 2022

During this month, I had my first meeting with my two advisors: Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles & Fawz Kabra. It was a really beautiful meeting - discussing my project goals and intentions. I appreciated hearing their perspectives on how they experience what I have offered so far and we had a very engaging conversation on how to think through multiple perspectives of my work.

I have identified some guiding questions for my project:

• How is Jewish Exile transferred onto Palestinain Exile?

• What shifts when we engage with politics through the body?

• What is the relationship between aesthetics and linguistics?

• What is the meaning of exile from a spiritual and psychological perspective?

• How is Jerusalem a case study for a global understanding of spirituality and exile?

• What does it mean for land to be in exile?

• What is the role of trauma in cycles of oppression?
