Fascinated project built from digital traces, something of particular interest to Dawn.

Posted online and on social media by ordinary people living in and around Palestine, Iraq and Syria, the video clips, often ad hoc and recorded on mobile devices, focus on song, dance, protest and performance – affirmative acts of vocalisation and physical gesture.
Craft School: a summer of playful making
