The project started as a series of walks in Wadi Beit Hanina as an escape from the movement restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Over the past two years, we have witnessed an acceleration of large-scale infrastructure and housing projects in Beit Hanina neighborhood in Jerusalem leading to the expansion of the built-up area towards the valley. The new housing blocks in Beit Hanina, the settlement buildings on the hilltops, the Begin highway are all projects occupying the few remaining acres of unbuilt land in the valley. These rapid transformations in our immediate surroundings have prompted us to question, rethink and act on these rapidly shifting scenes taking place in the margins of the city using critical artistic tools. At the end of the project we presented our research in an exhibtion format and produced a "Walker's Log" consisting of eleven booklets, each consitutiing a counter-map of the valley containing notes, research and visual materials from our walks.
