Around 400 Palestinian towns and villages were emptied and largely\nerased, not only physically, but also from the Israeli collective memory. In\nsome places, Jewish immigrants from North African and Middle Eastern countries\nwere settled in the formerly Palestinian villages. However, this history is\nmissing from school textbooks, popular culture, and even from political\nprograms allegedly aimed to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (such as the\nrecent Trump plan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this public event\nof Een Andere Joodse Stem \/ A Different Jewish Voice, we will highlight these\nunspoken components of the Palestinian-Israeli history and discuss their\nerasure from the Israeli collective memory. EAJS members, visual artists Sirah\nFoighel Brutmann and Eitan Efrat, will present their work \u201cOrientation\u201d (2015,\n12 min.), and lead a discussion on remembrance and forgetting, their meaning\nand representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Orientation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HD video, color, 16:9,\nstereo sound, BE, 2015, 12\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by Argos,\nCentre for Art and Media, Brussels, with the support of VAF and\nBeursschouwburg, Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at two\nlocations\u2014 the public sculpture White Square commemorating the founders of Tel\nAviv, and the shrine of Palestinian village Salame in today\u2019s Israeli Kafar\nShalem\u2014Orientation focuses on the ability of architectural material, and of\nsound and image, to register collective forgetfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sirah Foighel Brutmann<\/strong> and <strong>Eitan Efrat<\/strong> (both born in Tel Aviv in\n1983) have been working in collaboration for several years and are creating\nworks in the Audiovisual field.
