As part of our summer programme, New World Order, John Hansard Gallery presents Jumana Manna.
Jumana Manna’s film Foragers (2022) blends fiction, documentary, and archival footage to examine the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on Palestinian foraging traditions. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee, and Jerusalem, the film captures traditional knowledge of wild edible plants alongside community resistance against prohibitive legislation that criminalises the collection of native plants like ‘akkoub and za’atar.
Through this lens, Manna questions who determines which traditions survive and which face extinction.
