Return to Sender is an interactive installation and workshop in the post office, inviting the audience to sort through years of undelivered mail coming out of the Gaza Strip.
It features short letters and reviews published by Gazan guides about local places they once visited. The work aims to uncover the less visible layers of the Israeli siege on Gaza. It maps ordinary people’s lives in the strip, in hopes of recreating alternative geographies of Gaza prior to the beginning of its violent destruction in October 2023.

The work was presented as part of Un/Besieged, a microfestival by first year M.A. students in Human Rights & the Arts at Bard College.
