In Za’atari

الزعتري

Short Documentary, 2021

This ethnographic project explores the processes of identity formation and the negotiation of nationhood among youth in Za’atari, the world’s largest Syrian refugee camp. Situated in a liminal space between displacement and permanence, these young Syrians - many born in the camp - embody the tensions of a generation whose sense of self and belonging is being shaped outside the geographic bounds of their homeland. Their experiences therefore illuminate broader questions of cultural identity under conditions of uncertainty.
