Fatima Al-Nammari - Honorary Research Fellow

Fatima has been working with Beverley Butler on an ongoing project towards documenting and understanding the construction and reconstruction of heritage in Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. The investigation addresses the daily rituals, thoughts, and place-making that Palestinians use as forms of resistance and self-realization.
