Humana Manna @ Hollybush Gardens

Foragers (2022), is a new film by Jumana Manna, whose multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, filmmaking, and writing, exploring the paradoxical effects of preservation practices in agriculture, archaeology and law. Foragers continues Manna’s examination of how such practices intersect with colonial power structures, exploring the criminalisation of Palestinian herb foraging practices. The film blends documentary, fiction, and archival footage primarily from Jerusalem and the Galilee region of Palestine/Israel, where Manna grew up and continues to shoot many of her films.
