LIFTA Volume I: Future Palestine

Digital & Print Publication

Founded in 2018, LIFTA is a space led by the imagination. Prioritizing collaboration and humancentric processes, LIFTA develops projects across different mediums including publications, exhibitions, and film. Crafted by people of the region, our inaugural project is a book centred upon the theme of Future Palestine. Volume I features work from award-winning artists, poets, curators, researchers and writers from Palestine and its diaspora. The 2nd volume will take the format of a long term archival initiative based in CDMX exploring Diasporic communities from the Arab world.

The theme of Future Palestine is a step away from the past and present, from the limitations of current affairs, memory and rhetoric — a step towards intangible possibilities and impossibilities.
