Rima' Akram Hassouneh

Rima’ expressed her love for her city of Jenin and some of the memories she holds from its Old City where she was born; which she described as a big house for a big family: “From the windows one looks at the market, two steps and one is at its center. During Ramadan, the dining table has a thousand plates. There one feels that life is more than restaurants, coffee shops, going out and the similar. Life is the people themselves.” She recounted how neighbors communicate by knocking on the walls and through the windows. As for the future of Ein Qiniya, she envisioned a different reality from the one she experienced as a child, standardizing the village's houses into villas topped with surveillance cameras. She also pictured a hall for weddings neighboring a large park, and she separated the school in two corresponding to gender. She was interested in restoring built heritage sites and wished the restoration of Al L’malah’s hosh* and making it a bakery (Taboun) and a studio, as well as the restoration of another old building to be used as a kindergarten. Rima’ located several kiosks, inspiring from the one she owned and ran as a beauty salon at the time the interview was conducted. She developed her current business, and imagined it as an independent building.
