Soil is a contested foundation for reconstruction. It determines who is allowed to stay and who is allowed to return, and which traces are preserved and which are erased. Long after the fighting has ended, damaged ecosystems and devastated landscapes bear witness to the violence.

The works of Syrbanism on Syria, Hala Alnaji on the Gaza Strip and Ola Hassanain on Sudan make it clear that reconstruction must address the conflicts surrounding land, property and memory.
