The work of Basma Alsharif is a tribute and testament to diasporic cultures, in this case Palestinian, drifting from the Gaza Strip to Egypt, France to the United States. Alsharif's work isn't so much about Palestine as it is about being without Palestine; the work speaks to a collective struggle of removal from place, and distance from home. From Everywhere was the Same (2007) to The Story of Milk and Honey (2011), Basma Alsharif: Videoworks Volume 1 evokes a sense of dissonance between place, subject, story, and camera.
