Documenting Palestine
SYLLABUS CURATED BY RESIDENT ARTIST gabbah baya
About the Syllabus Project:
As part of our commitment to build a stronger, more cohesive Level Ground community, we’ve launched a new project to foster a shared language and raise our collective consciousness together. Twice a year, Level Ground will work with a group of artists to curate a themed media syllabus of podcasts, articles, films, books, etc. Check out our Fall 2020 Syllabus here.

About the Artist:
This summer we are releasing a Syllabus from all three Level Ground resident artists. Each Syllabus is curated by the artist to reflect the critical, creative, and imaginative foundations of their work. gabbah baya’s residency project, Ein Karem uses experimental game design to preserve and decontextualize Palestinian locations, buildings, and artifacts.
