I Witness Silwan

Overview

I Witness Silwan: Art, Resistance, and Placemaking in Occupied Jerusalem offers a poetic and defiant portrait of life in Silwan, where 65,000 Palestinians face ongoing threats of forced expulsion. Told through the eyes of youth, the film documents a powerful public art project that transforms walls into sites of resistance and remembrance. Through intimate glimpses of local and international artists working with residents, I Witness Silwan becomes a testament to creative resistance and the enduring power of art to claim space and shape collective memory in the face of dispossession.
