Notes
Khazaaen (the word used in Islamic history to refer to libraries) was launched in October 2016 by Arab youth from different parts of the world to establish a societal archive that documents the daily life of the Arab world combined with people’s stories through ephemera material—newspapers, magazines, films, photographs, cinema, and broadcasts as well as posters, commercial and cultural ads, business cards, and wedding invitations.
Khazaaen is centered in Jerusalem, offering an opportunity to study the collective social experience and to start a social and cultural discussion around critical political and societal issues in the hope of creating a better tomorrow.
Sample projects include:
Tobler Street 14, Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem
