چکیده (انگلیسی):

As people around the world continue to have their voices, desires, and movements restricted, and their pasts and futures told
on their behalf, we are interested in the critical project of decolonizing, which involves contesting dominant narratives and
hegemonic representations. Ignacio Martín-Baró called these the “collective lies” told about people and politics. This essay
reflects within and across two sites of injustice, located in Israel/Palestine and in South Africa, to excavate the circuits of
structural violence, internalized colonization and possible reworking of those toward resistance that can be revealed within
the stubborn particulars of place, history , and culture. The projects presented here are locally rooted, site-specific inquiries
into contexts that bear the brunt of colonialism, dispossession, and occupation. Using visual research methodologies such as
embroideries that produce counter-narratives and counter-maps that divulge the complexity of land-struggles, we search for
fitting research practices that amplify unheard voices and excavate the social psychological soil that grows critical analysis
and resistance. We discuss here the practices and dilemmas of doing decolonial research and highlight the need for research
that excavates the specifics of a historical material context and produces evidence of previously silenced narratives.
