Bristol Photo Festival presents a unique dive into Majazz’s tireless archival work documenting the audiovisual legacy of Palestine, with a focus on tapes and records made during the First and Second Intifada.

An event on Thursday 7th November. The event starts at 18:30.
Through years of digging, discovering and remastering, artist Mo'min Swaitat has created The Majazz Project, an archive of Palestinian sound and music. An act of reclamation and a site of resistance to colonial erasure, the archive is an embodiment of Palestinian culture across decades. Weaving tales of joy, grief, love, resistance, and steadfastness, these sounds are bridging generations. These sonic stories have travelled a long way to you, beckoning, a hand held out through time itself.
In collaboration with Bristol Photo Festival, Mo'min will be presenting the archive - playing records and discussing their significance. Join us for an informal evening of sound and discussion.
