Za’atar and akoub are the two central plants of Palestinian culinary culture. Artist Jumana Manna depicts not only their manual harvesting and processing, but also the patrols and interrogations surrounding these practices, as Israeli law restricts their picking. Many Palestinians continue to defy this ban, resisting the pressure to rely on cultivated varieties. Foragers is a thoughtful hybrid of ethnography and fiction that reveals how control over nature can also become control over culture.
A discussion will follow the screening.
The original version of the film will be shown with English subtitles. The discussion will be held in English.
Free and open to the public. Barrier-free.
