Politics of Walking: Grief, Solidarity, and Resistance
The recent protests in Serbia and Greece in part started as the expression of collected grief over, oddly for both, railway disasters. The resulting marches not only represented deep discontent with the actions of the respective governments, they were also expressions of solidarity and resistance.

In Between Camps was a walking and research project initiated by Saleh Khannah as part of the Campus in Camps program in the West Bank. It involved a two‑day trek from Berket al‑Arroub (the ancient Roman pool near al‑Arroub Refugee Camp) to Solomon’s Pools near Bethlehem, following the remnants of an ancient aqueduct system that once carried water between these sites. The walk brought together participants — Palestinian refugees and collaborators — to investigate how landscape, history, community, and displacement relate through embodied movement on the land. Walking became a method to reactivate and reflect on spatial and social connections across fractured geography, exploring how past infrastructures and present realities intersect. The project was documented through texts, photographs, maps and later published in Relation, a collective reflection on relations of space, time, people, and landscape.
The participants of “In Between Camps” included Saleh Khannah, Ibrahim Jawabreh, Matteo Guidi, Giuliana Racco, Diego Segatto, BraveNewAlps, Sara Pellegrini, Thayer Hastings, and Ismael Al-Bis, who together walked, researched, and documented the journey between al‑Arroub and Solomon’s Pools.
