Cartographies of Mourning Talk

FELLOW TALK Organized by Darat Alfunun: HALA ALNAJI
TUESDAY 14 JULY 2026 | 6:30 PM | BEIT AL BEIRUTI
How can we document erasure as it unfolds? And how might mourning become a form of resistance amid the ongoing genocide in
Gaza?
The doctoral research of architect and visual artist Hala Alnaji, Darat al Funun Fellow 2026, explores methodologies for developing
counter-cartographies in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Rejecting the conventions and instruments of traditional
cartography, her research brings together textile craft with critical approaches to spatial mapping and mapmaking.
At the centre of the project is stitching, understood both as an analytical method and a collective practice. Stitching becomes an
architectural framework through which mourning can take form as an act of spatial resistance against disappearance and erasure.
In this talk, Hala reflects on the development of her research and doctoral project, which brings together design, critical writing,
and participatory practices of mapping and knowledge production.
