Notes for a Guest Book is an installation and foreword for an artist book following a month I spent as the Ace Hotel Toronto and Images Festival Artist-in-Residence 2023-2024. 

This installation brings together fragments of images and texts which centre and consider a hotel as an omnipresent spectre always appearing as a witness, attesting to moments of gathering, remembering, collective action, celebration, war, and exile. Referencing documents from the Palestinian Museum Digital Archive, the collected materials act as visual records documenting moments from the history of Palestine’s colonisation and articulating alternative voices of resistance.
