The Greatest Wait
Zei, a 3rd generation Palentinian refugee, returns to her ancestral home Haifa through virtual reality, the one way she can see Palestine. Disembodied by the virtual, she interconnects Haifa, Beirut & Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal in the 1940s, 90s, and 2020s. Zei returns home to her body with a new way of being in the world.
