Giving Friday His Tongue Back

As a Palestinian citizen of Israel, Shareef Safadi watched the war on Gaza under a system that claims to represent him while silencing his people. Remembering Friday, the voiceless character in Coetzee’s Foe, he chose to make political videos so Palestinians in ’48 can speak in their own voice, in their own language.

In a time of erasure and distortion, Shareef’s work amplifies a new generation of ’48 Palestinians: proud, unapologetic, and part of one Palestinian people.
