“In This Garden" uncovers the secrets of my family's history by mourning the losses of location, culture, and bloodlines. It's marked by the unfilled wishes of my grandfather who died in 1983 in Baghdad. His hopes to reunite with his children who escaped to the US or Jordan were lost, his wishes to be buried in his village in Palestine next to his mother and his sister were forbidden, and his dream for peace for Iraq and Palestine were never realized in his lifetime and continues to elude his people and us, his family. In my project, my cousins and I perform his wishes and give voice to our current struggles as Iraqis, Palestinians, and Arabs Muslims struggling to hold onto our heritage in the West, and to continue his legacy with honor.
