"I Remember 1948" is a Sydney-based collective of
Arab artists and activists interested in freedom and justice
for Palestine and its people.
We seek to raise awareness about Palestine, the people who
live there and the refugees who don’t. We also hope to
explore the many issues surrounding Palestine such as the
politics of homeland, the inalienable right of return and
the search for securing basic human rights.
Current "I Remember 1948" projects involve the sharing
and recording of Palestinian oral histories, a video documentary
and an art exhibition commemorating half a century of Al Nakba
(The Catastrophe). These projects hope to contribute to a
worldwide consciousness required to help free the people of
Palestine. The participants of the "I Remember 1948"
