“Teslam Idek” – Bless Your Hand
Between the intimacy of a kitchen, Wissam invites her daughter, Mariam, to prepare Maqlooba, a Palestinian recipe passed down through generations.
What begins as a cooking lesson becomes a meditation on identity, inheritance, and belonging.
Interwoven with the perspectives of seven Londoners from Middle Eastern backgrounds, Teslam Idek reflects on how memory travels, transforms, and endures—a visual poem on what we hold onto, what we let go of, and how our hands become carriers and shapers of our collective memories.
