The yardstick of feeling used by which those who have lived through extremely dramatic experiences is minimal. The slightest measure endowed with meaning. The exile thus becomes the symbol of a universal human condition in which desire and hope sense by intuition the wealth of simple gestures, that essential human rights are inalienable. Emily Jacir recounts with profound sensitivity and charm the inevitable resistance of the feeling of belonging of a populace to its own land, the never-ending story of Palestine and her sons. Emily Jacir's pluriannual artistic project can be reassumed in the question put by the artist to 27 Palestinians, who for diverse political reasons are unable to return to their homeland: If I could do anything for you, anywhere in Palestine, what would it be? It began like this the artist's journey across the country to carry out and document the wishes which had been expressed. The thirty images from Where We Come From tell of this adventure.
