A review of the exhibition "P is for Palestine," at the Plein sud art actual, Longeuil, Quebec, from Sept. 21 to Dec. 14, 2024. The review discuses cultural footage and conversations on Palestinian heritage. Representing family, language, and children amidst the war. Some of the artists use familiar accounts to talk about generational displacement, using objects such as soil to direct viewers back into the idea of homeland.
