Maha abu Shusheh's Interview with the Palestinian Museum, 'Never Part' Exhibition, 2013

This video clip documents Maha abu Shusheh's interview with the Palestinian Museum as part of the "Never Part" project. In this project, the museum aimed to collect stories related to highly cherished and valuable belongings preserved by Palestinians, which serve as epitomes of their connection to their homeland. Abu Shusheh, the daughter of the displaced village of Abu Shusheh, preserves a piece of Austrian gold called "Arwah." It is used to fasten the headscarf, which is a silver chain that attaches to the "waqah" or "weqayah," which is a traditional head covering. This was the last piece of gold belonging to her grandmother, after she sold a portion of it to sustain her family following the Nakba of 1948.
