              Soraida is a Palestinian woman who lives in Ramallah, in the occupied territories. This video captures her personal struggle to retain her humanity in the midst of oppression. In her neighbourhood, the women do not all wear veils, the men do not rattle off empty political slogans, and the young people do not have bombs strapped to their belts. Life goes on despite the curfews and checkpoints that confine the people in a barless cage. Soraida invites us into her world, and that of her family and neighbours. Through their simple, everyday actions, we discover the worst thing about living under a state of siege: the loss of control over one's own life. In this vibrant plea against the occupation, Soraida shares her reflections on life in Palestine and her refusal to give in to the hate and violence.

              How to Be a Recluse
              ES ES-OVNI CTX-S007-SS001-0019 · Item · 1998

              Advice on how to gain independence and control in the face of the difficulties implicit in human relationships. We live in a busy world and isolation seems to be the only way to escape the buzz of lists, inspirational catchphrases and reminders to upgrade — now! The peace of ignoring the phone may be bliss, but what about when we get what we ask for, and are forgotten altogether? The author mulls over the bittersweet reality of escaping. A video about wanting to be alone and being lonely — a meditation on the cult of individuality and independence in our anxious urban world. Created in 1998, but now feels even more relevant during these current pandemic times.
