The main purpose of the project is to discuss the possibility of returning Palestinian
Materials, Images and Archives, visual and others, that were seized or looted by
Jewish/Israeli forces/soldiers and individual since the first decades of the 20th century and
which are now held by Israel in its official archives.
The proposed project aims
1. To chart the mechanism of looting and seizure and the types and scope of
materials/archives/image that were taken by individuals or by organized military
forces.
2. To deal with the way the materials/archives/image are held and controlled by Israel.
3. To sketch a draft on how to return the seized and looted materials/archives/image to
their legal owners and the public sphere and discuss obstacles that may be raised
during this process.
