Despite It All

This interactive project contains text, video clips, photographs and gifs, depicting a personal story of immigration. 

​

The project is named after the Af Al Pi Chen immigrant ship, which brought Jewish refugees to Mandatory Palestine in 1947 but was captured by British forces.

​

Its story represents a turning point in the family history, as also reflected in the national Zionist narrative

​

These fragments of a personal story expose greater, fraught social and political power relations, and are designed to give the viewer a sense of being immersed, or even stuck, in the narrative presented.
