'in/tangible cartographies – new arab video' was commisioned by World Wide Video Festival 2001, and especially curated by Jayce Salloum.
A metaphor for the Palestinian 'condition', the preparation of Makloubeh, a traditional Palestinian dish is served up as image and substance, reflecting on the nature of nourishment, the land and culture, laying claim to that which is their own. Masharawi uses a regardful humour and a bucolic freshness of shots in this short treatise on Palestinian identity.
