Landing by Maen Hammad explores the lives of Palestinian skateboarders in the occupied West Bank as they navigate the layered realities of Israeli settler-colonial domination. The book offers a thesis on skateboarding as a form of resistance to a headspace of violence. Documented between 2015 and 2022, it captures the fleeting moments of escape and the indomitable spirit of skateboarding. Through an interpretive dance of imagery and text the book presents a powerful counter-narrative—a taste of the Palestinian refusal to succumb.Produced in close collaboration with book designer Roï Saade, Landing harmonizes 22 critical essays, poems, and interviews alongside over 100 images.
