Lives across divides: Ethnographic stories from the Golan Heights
Funder: Druze Heritage Foundation, LondonDuration: May 2021 - July 2024
The Syrian population of the Golan Heights is considered one of the world’s most vulnerable peoples as they are internationally recognized to be ‘stateless’ since the Israeli occupation of their lands in 1967, and its illegal unilateral annexation in 1981. This project aims to collect the life stories and narratives of those currently living in the occupied Golan Heights as well as refugees from the Golan Heights who now live in Europe. What is belonging to them? How do they reflect on the movement of borders, and on their own movements between different countries and different states? Do they still resist occupation, and how?
