Documents heritage
Places, stories, and memory, before they are lost.
AN SDC INITIATIVE · COMMUNITY DOCUMENTATION
The Arab Haifa Map
The Arab Haifa Map is a community documentation project that records and amplifies Arab Haifa: its heritage, its stories and places, the realities of how the community lives the city today, and the future it intends to author. It documents the city through the eyes of its Palestinian Arab community: not only what was, but what is, and what should be.
WHY IT MATTERS
Memory and presence, on the record.
Parts of Arab Haifa, including neighborhoods, landmarks, and the memory attached to them, are at risk of disappearing. The Map documents what exists, what is threatened, and what is changing, so that this heritage is preserved and the community's ongoing presence and stake in the city remain visible.
WHAT IT DOES
Three layers of documentation.
02
Captures the lived present
How the community actually lives Haifa now.
03
Carries a vision for the future
The city the community intends to author, not one dictated to it.
DEMO · UNDER DEVELOPMENT
See the Map in action
A first working demo of the Arab Haifa Map: places and their status, a walking route played stop by stop, the original Arabic street names, and a 3D visit inside al-Jarina mosque. It is under development and its content is not final.
