More than a romantic idea, Palestinians' cultivation of their land contains the seeds of resistance. Walk the fields through Vivien Sansour's photographs, experience this relationship of farmer to land, see how the old ways of planting and harvesting, of cooking the old recipes, form an historical continuum, the fruits of their labors feeding the body and the soul of Palestine today.

Vivien combines stunning large format images of Palestinian farmland with portraits of individual farmers. In addition, she showcases a film on the traditional method of making apricot jam, and includes photographic recipe cards. During the opening, end-use products from the farmers harvests, such as tapenade, sun dried tomatoes, maftoul and za’atar, along with flavored olive oils, were available for tasting and purchase.
