'Refugee Heritage, presented as part of the "Phantom Limb" exhibition, is an ongoing project where the refugee camp, quintessentially imagined as a precarious and impermanent space, is put forward for inscription on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. An ambitious and complex project involving organisations, individuals, camp residents, politicians and conservation experts among others, the nomination of the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in Palestine as a World Heritage Site seeks to deploy the potential for heritage to be mobilised as an agent of political transformation, tracing and representing refugee history beyond narratives of suffering and displacement and imagining "refugee-ness" outside the typical spaces and images of humanitarianism.' - excerpted from the website of Jameel Arts Centre
