Tears of Tar 

18/05/2024

TEARS OF TAR- in collaboration with Pary El Qalqili. 

76 years of Nakba. We mourn

 Who has the right to mourn and who doesn't? In 2022 and 2023, our Nakba memorial events were banned. Tar Tears overwrites these bans: We will not let go of our right to mourn and perform in public spaces. We commemorate and grieve for all those killed, wounded, prisoner, all losses in Gaza and throughout Palestine.

On the occasion of the 76th commemoration day of the Nakba, Tearsof Tar invited 76 women from the Palestinian community and women in solidarity between the ages of16 and 80 to take part in the mourning ritual.

 Accompanied by a traditional mourning singer, equipped with black tar, pomegranates and small bells on our feet, we carried out our mourning ritual in a 30-minutes perfomance
