The Qamar 717 centres on a handwritten letter Salloum’s grandmother (tata) wrote in January 1967 to Jordanian authorities, pleading for the release of Salloum’s grandfather (sedo), a political figure detained in the West Bank for his role in the Palestinian liberation movement. “She travelled to Jordan hoping to see him, but was denied visitation. Fearing for his life, she wrote the letter in desperation,” Salloum explains. “It was filled with urgency and resolve—words crossed out, thoughts revised. But in the end, only the draft remained. No one in my family knows what happened next.”
