This roundtable discussion seeks to facilitate dialogue around Palestinian and Arab memory work that lies outside the parameters of the nation-state. What other ways does remembering history and imagining a liberated future demand from us? How does collective memory-work look and feel like when its corpus is expanded from those in the West, to our diasporas in Latin Americas as well as those internally displaced in the Arab world? This conversation between junior scholars, community organizers, and journalists illuminates the complex and creative ways that histories of displacement, imperialism, colonization, and Zionism are preserved and challenged. We assert that a decolonial methodology around Arabs and Palestine are necessary as we navigate the responsibility of doing Palestinian memory-work. Whether through visual culture, oral histories, theoretical reconceptualizations, or literature, we highlight the routes that Palestinian and Arab women engage in re-membering and world-making that at its core builds upon the discipline of memory studies, while grounding culture and identity as informants to how memory and imagination present themselves in historical and contemporary moments. The first panelist discusses the role of imagination in Palestinian resistance within the West Bank, focusing on visual elements throughout the Old City to understand how memory and the future are intertwined within historical, heritage spaces. The second panelist discusses why Arab memory work requires different ways of remembering that rest outside of national identity, the limitations of existing memory frameworks, and why for Arab and Palestinians, embodied memories become our most reliable sources of history. The third panelist discusses how journalism can be used to preserve, construct, and make accessible the collective modern Palestinian memory by giving autonomy to reliable narrators, and how young people in particular are vital actors in this practice of memoralizing as they tell stories of their becoming.The fourth panelist discusses the importance of engaging in counterstorytelling to engage in transformational resistance as an effort to recover our memory and disrupt the settler colonial public memory that violently erases our existence. Throughout our conversation we invite audience members to actively participate in the dialogue as we engage in the collaborative process of narrative preservation and exchange strategies and desires around what future vision these memories serve to build.
