Reconstructing Manateer: Discovery and Play on Architecture in Palestine

Activities for the educational platform "Sanasel: Play Together, Learn Together"

Saturday, August 26^th, 16:00-19:00
Location: The Palestinian Museum
Language: Arabic

Join us in a family-friendly activity during our busy summer programme to learn about manateer (Singular: mintar), the beautiful stone buildings scattered along the slopes and valleys of Palestine’s rural hills. They were long used by rural families as summer dwellings during the months of ta’zeeb when farmers spent long periods away from home as they toiled to plant or harvest their crops. We’ll make miniature copies inspired by the Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour’s mintar currently in the Museum's gardens.
