The director and artist Bashir Qonqar processes his experiences and explores traditions, religion and similarities between the regions.
“This project beings with my personal history as a Palestinian who had to leave his life in Bethlehem and start a new life in the homeland of my wife, Bad Goisern. The life in the Salzkammergut region gave me perspectives and energy that I did not have before and I wanted to learn more about the region. I heard the stories of the people – everything that I heard made the area even more magical and inspiring; at the same time, I noticed the similarities between the place that I came from and the place where I am living today. That is precisely what I would like to concentrate on. This project researches and discovers the similarities between Jericho and the Salzkammergut region and finds a point where these two locations come together. The mythologies, religion, traditions, legends and everything else that makes up this region will be investigated and presented”, says Bashier Qonqar
