“With chalk on the concrete floor, Amro writes, “Demolish all schools.” To counter the western vision of the future’s self-delusion—which attempts to justify their violence committed in the Global South, in the Middle and Far East—Amro starts from the temporariness of chalk. Instead of dreaming of more institutions, this starts from the roots. The Palestinian artist has her foundation in creating immersive experiences as educational models in her home country, and remembers the closed schools during the Second Intifada. When schools close, every site becomes a school. Education happens in the neighborhood barber shops, under trees.” Excerpt from an essay on Saja Amro by Baha Görkem Yalım
