ABOUT
Dahaleez Collective was formed in Gaza in 2021, at a moment when imagining the future often felt impossible. Bringing together artists and researchers, the collective emerged from a need to make sense of life under siege: to examine how violence shapes imagination, how communities remember what is being lost, and how people continue to think toward futures that remain uncertain. Dahaleez functions as a space for collective thought under conditions of ongoing violence. Through research, artistic practice and collaboration, the collective explores how colonialism shapes the capacity to imagine, while seeking ways to reclaim and sustain visions of liberation.
