يعود إليكم سوق القدس من جديد في شهر أيار، لنتعرف معًا على مشاريع فلسطينية، وندعم فنانينا، وحرفيينا، وروّاد مجتمعنا.

موعدنا يوم السبت، 2025/5/24 ، من الساعة 12:00 ظهرًا حتى الساعة 7:00 مساءً، في مركز يبوس الثقافي، 10 شارع الزهراء، القدس حيث سيحوي السوق العديد من المشاريع للاطفال وللكبار.

يحلّ شهر أيار على فلسطين محملًا بمعانٍ مزدوجة؛ فهو شهر نحتفي فيه بعمالنا وإنجازاتهم، لكنه يذكّرنا أيضًا سنويًا بالعديد من الأحداث الجسيمة التي مرت بها فلسطين. لهذا، نسلّط الضوء هذا العام على إنجازاتنا وصمودنا في القدس، مؤكدين من خلال حرفنا، وفنوننا، وفعالياتنا الثقافية، تمسكنا العميق بمدينة القدس.

استُوحي التصميم البصري للفعالية من ثوب أو غرزة “التحريرة” الفلسطينية، سواء من الثوب المقدسي أو التلحمي، وفق اللون والشكل، حيث استخدم فيه أكثر من لون من الألوان الأساسية المستمدة من هذه الأثواب.

تكمن الفكرة الأساسية وراء استخدام هذا الثوب أولًا في اسمه، وثانيًا في ألوانه الغامقة، حيث شاع ارتداء هذه الأثواب وتطريزها بعد النكبة اكثر، بألوان داكنة تدل على الحزن والحداد، لا سيما في القرى والمناطق الفلسطينية التي تعرّضت للتهجير أو التدمير بشكل كبير.

يظهر اللون الأسود بوضوح في التصميم، خاصة في الخطوط، إلى جانب الأزرق الغامق، الأحمر، الأصفر، الكحلي وغيرهم، وهي ألوان كانت تُستخدم سابقًا في الأثواب، لكنها ازدادت بعد النكبة، وكان اللون الأسود أساسها، تعبيرًا عن الصمود والمقاومة.

تحوّل هذا الثوب إلى رمز للانتماء والمقاومة من خلال اللباس، حتى لو بصمت، للتعبير عن الحداد العام على ما تمرّ به فلسطين. لم تكن ألوانه جمالية فقط أو مرتبطة بشكل الثوب فحسب، بل أصبحت جزءًا من مقاومة النساء، خاصة في ظل محاولات منع الرموز الوطنية وقمعها. ولاحقًا، أصبحت ألوان العلم الفلسطيني تُدمج في الأثواب عندما كان يُمنع رفع العلم، فكانت الملابس وما زالت وسيلةً مهمةً للتعبير والمقاومة.

Shorts Filmmaking Workshop
2025-05-27 - 2025-05-28 | Al-mamal, Al-Jawalida Street 8, New Gate, Old City, Jerusalem, East Jerusalem, Israel, Jerusalem
ورشة صناعة أفلام قصيرة عبر إعادة تفكيك ومونتاج أفلام وثائقية

عن الورشة

(٦ لقاءات)

ستعالج الورشة سلسلة من الأفلام الوثائقية الإسرائيلية التي تناولت الفلسطينيين على مدار خمسون عاما سابقة، والتي ظهر فيها فلسطينيون كشخصيات رئيسية في مدن وقرى ومناطق فلسطينية. بعض هذه الأفلام قدمها مخرجوها مناصرة للحقوق الفلسطينية وبعضها أُنتجت في السياق الإسرائيلي. معظم هذه الأفلام لم يشاهدها من ظهروا فيها ولم تعرض على الجمهور الفلسطيني ولم تصل للمشاهد العربي، وبقيت تتداول في المهرجانات الدولية وداخل دور العرض الإسرائيلية وفيما بعد في المكتبات والأرشيفات المتخصصة.

سيعمل المشاركون خلال الورشة على البحث عن الشخصيات الظاهرة في الأفلام، وتفكيك وإعادة مونتاج الأفلام حسب رؤيتهم الخاصة.

معايير اختيار المشاركين

– كل من لديه خبرة سابقة في مجال الأفلام والفيديو.

– أفضلية لمن يجيد العمل على أحد برامج المونتاج.

متطلبات التقديم

– عمل سابق في مجال الأفلام أو الفيديو.

موعد الورشة

اول لقاءين يومي ٢٧ و ٢٨ مايو ٢٠٢٥

“Echoes of the Land” exhibitions
2025-05-29 18:00 - 22:00 | Al-mamal, Al-Jawalida Street 8, New Gate, Old City, Jerusalem, East Jerusalem, Israel, Jerusalem
Invitation to the Opening of “Echoes of the Land” exhibitions
Al Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art cordially invites you to the opening of “Echoes of the Land”, a group exhibition showcasing works by Palestinian artists that delve into themes of memory, identity, longing, and pain.

This exhibition offers a profound visual meditation on our relationship with the land—imbued with enduring emotion and a longing that persists despite efforts at erasure.

Within this artistic space, collective and individual memories converge to form a cohesive narrative where echoes of the past intertwine with the pulse of the present. Buildings take on the presence of souls adrift in a realm of storytelling—suspended between reality and imagination, permanence and displacement. Through vivid lines and colors, the land speaks of struggle and resilience: of mothers who endure, gazelles leaping toward freedom, and seas that carry the names of fishermen like echoes that never fade.

Erased maps reclaim their contours, and stories are re-embroidered, reminding us that land is not merely a geographical space but a living, breathing entity—an archive of identity and history.
Echoes of the Land is not simply an art exhibition; it is a space for reflection—on the memories we hold, the present we inhabit, and the futures we envision.

From Pain to Hope: Voices of Reconciliation in Israel and Palestine
2025-06-05 17:00 | Pax Christi
You are invited to a special event with Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan, a Palestinian and an Israeli father, both bereaved, both members of The Parents Circle – Families Forum, a joint Israeli-Palestinian organisation of families who have lost loved ones to the conflict. Through their stories, they challenge conventional narratives and demonstrate that even in loss, it is possible to choose understanding over hatred.
The Parents Circle was awarded the Pax Christi International Peace Award 2023 for their longstanding commitment to reconciliation, dialogue, and nonviolence. Their work reminds us that peace is not abstract, it is built, person by person, relationship by relationship.
Come to listen, reflect, and engage with those working to break the cycle of violence!
