About the series

My mother told me about her siblings in the Ghab--the place that pushed her and her family to the outskirts of the city, where its margins swallowed them. "A Hand of Dust" is a narrative that aims to trace how the memory of spatial injustices and political practices have shaped the families of the Ghab, the landscapes, and their identities--not as an external observer, but as one whose fate is deeply intertwined with the history and past of the region.
