Featuring thousands of wax figures held in limbo, 'Return of the Soul: the Nakbah Project' is the outcome of Scottish artist Jane Frere's eight-month residency in East Jerusalem. These figures were created by Palestinians following a series of workshops in refugee camps in the West Bank, Jordan and Lebanon, on drawing, anatomy, period costume, physical theatre and oral history. Accompanied by first-hand testimonies, these figures, all representing individual Palestinians with names and origins, express the Palestinians' sense of loss, heritage and identity 60 years on from the momentous events of 1948. The installation will open at the Patriothall Gallery in Edinburgh on 30 July as part of the Edinburgh Festival.
