If Palestine were the center of the world.
After Armenia, Japan, and Poland, Kometa puts Palestine at the center of the map. A tiny territory, yet immense in what it evokes, awakens, and crystallizes. What if Palestine were not the center of the world, but the point where our most essential questions converge—those that cut across history, politics, identities, and imaginations? A symbolic, moral, and media center; a magnifying mirror of contemporary tensions, where universal aspirations are expressed, where the very idea of justice, borders, and people is questioned, denied, and reformulated. By giving a voice to writers, reporters, artists, photographers, archaeologists, lawyers, researchers, and diplomats, this issue places Palestine back in a global history and geography and brings us back to this question: why does Palestine make the world talk so much?
