A Brief Review of “Those forgotten memories in conflicts of the Middle East“

Author, The Forgotten Refugee Heritage in Palestine, Refugee Path, 2023

A friend once said that Palestine is similar to Taiwan—both as places on the margins. To be honest, from my perspective, there are still significant differences. After a trip to the Middle East, I felt I had only gained a superficial understanding, without truly grasping the deeper realities. So in 2018, I decided to return to Palestine. Through photography, writing, and food, I sought to explore my own imagination of “home” and “identity.”

During my time there, I worked with the local organization RIWAQ (Ramallah, Palestine), engaging with issues related to society, mobility, and culture, while also contributing to the planning of projects such as Qalandiya International and the Life Jacket initiative.

朋友說著巴勒斯坦好比台灣—劃外之地，坦白說在我看來還是有很大的差異。去了一趟中 東，看似了解了些皮毛，卻沒能真正深入了解。於是，2018 年，決定再踏上巴勒斯坦以攝影、文字、書寫、食物，尋找對於「家」、「認同」的想像。

前往當地機構RIWAQ（Ramallah, Palestine）探討社會、移動、文化等面向議題，並協助機構規劃Qalandiya International與Life jacket計畫。
