More Than a Number: The Connection Between the Diaspora and Midwestern Palestinians

Illinois Humanities presents an Illinois Road Scholar Event featuring Iman Snobar. Bridgeview, Illinois—home to the largest Palestinian population in the US—stands as a vibrant center of diasporic life and memory. Explore the experiences of Palestinians across this area through this multimedia exhibition featuring portraits and personal narratives. Each portrait is accompanied by a brief caption capturing memories, aspirations, and reflections on home, displacement, and belonging. The session includes a guided walkthrough of the exhibition’s images and narratives, offering space for dialogue on what it means to live—and remember—in the diaspora.
