Khalil Rabah: After 12 Years (installation, 2011) Gallery Anadiel
After 12 Years is a legal case brought before the United Nations and the Swiss legal systems by the Botanical Department of the Palestinian Museum of Natural History and Humankind on behalf of a family of five Olive Trees that arrived from Ramallah, Palestine to Ariana Park at the United Nations Office, Geneva, in 1995. The case argues the Trees legal right to be granted Swiss citizenships, since they have fulfilled the Swiss naturalization requirements for the past 12 years, or the Trees legal Right of Return. The case is supported by the Museum’s collection, comprehensive research, and documentation of these trees and their lives.
