Hosni Sawafta's Interview with the Palestinian Museum, 'Never Part' Exhibition, 2013
This video clip documents Hosni Sawafta's interview with the Palestinian Museum as part of the "Never Part" project. In this project, the museum aimed to collect stories related to highly cherished and valuable belongings preserved by Palestinians, which serve as epitomes of their connection to their homeland. Born in 1936, Sawafta talks about his most prized possession - a well nestled in an agricultural area. Then, he shares the story of its inauguration and the process of replacing the old irrigation system with drip irrigation. Furthermore, he discusses the Israeli occupation's establishment of a deeper well and the ensuing implications it had on his own well.
