Cultivating Hope: Dreaming and Making of Palestine

In Palestine, it is not possible to talk about cultural heritage restoration and development in isolation from the structural deficits under which such operations take place. If these conditions are obvious and are debilitating, then such heritage processes are not mere physical and non-physical interventions in space and time; rather, it can be seen only as modes of expression in a non-friendly environment, as a voice for the voiceless. If legal framework is not protecting heritage, and the political will is not encouraging, and the budgets allocated for cultural heritage are not comparable to the needs and struggles of Palestinian communities, then heritage actors, who think that culture and heritage are possible/possibilities, are condemned to failures and disappointments.
In spite of these debilitating circumstances, heritage actors still go about their everyday life as if things will change, as if things will definitely change. They live and practice hoping for alternatives, something like “an unintended error" to emerge, one of which is not failure, one of which is not disappointment.
Heritage processes in Palestine are therefore a political take on debilitating circumstances. The rationality of these actions is entrenched in the unquestioned possibility of failure. It is not an intended failure though; rather, it is an action that is possible in space and time and under Palestine special circumstances, and that encompasses all the possibilities of failure.
