Videography

Look At Us

A year long documentation of Tara Evonne Trudell's Palestine Martyred Remembrance Prayerbead Offering that began when the first list of names was released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health on October 26, 2023.

Tara has been typing and rolling these precious beads herself for the first part of the year and then brought in trusted community to help her and to offer a way to grieve and celebrate each martyr and uplift the prayers of Palestine. Tara felt her father, John Trudell's presence and guidance and used his poem song from his one of his early cassette releases of Tribal Voice, Look at Us. She and her dad felt in these very trying and familiar times we must remember and come together on the ground and by offering a sanctuary space on the road and in her studio, Tara feels she was able to bring many communities together and become much stronger in the process. This is still in progress as she is half way there with the prayer beads and is planning on finishing up before the year ends.

Included in this video work is glimpses of the report done by Al Jazeera when this first name list was released. Please learn more on this important report here:
