Place: Palestinian Museum social media platforms

Join us for a pre-recorded virtual tour of our exciting new exhibition, with its curators, Baha Jubeh and guest curator, Abdel-Rahman Shabane.

The exhibition explores the relation between Jerusalemites and publications printed in their city, be their content political, educational, commercial, cultural, or touristic. It seeks to analyse the emergence and disappearance duality inherent to the publications of nascent social movements within the city, movements that contended with governing institutions and the tools of censorship they imposed on Jerusalem’s urban fabric.

This is the second iteration of Printed in Jerusalem, which first opened at Jerusalem’s Palestinian Heritage Museum at Dar Al Tifel AL Arabi in late-2018.

*A mustamly (plural: mustamloun) was tasked with dictating manuscripts to copyists and acted as an intermediary between authors and the public. Historically, this transmission of content was associated with censorship as well. This ancient profession disappeared as modernisation replaced human voices with machinery’s hum and grind.
