The story began with a daughter of a long story, carrying within it the memory of a village uprooted from its roots. I am Shahd Okasha. From Dimra, the village from which my family, Okasha was displaced in the year of Nakba, the spark of our story was ignited.
It was a small dream, born in Madrid, whose people have stood in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
And from here, the idea of Dimra was born to name a wound that has not yet healed. I wanted it to be a bridge between what remains and what is lost, striving to revive a place they wanted to erase, and a memory told through design as it is told through narrative.
Here, design becomes a simple form of resistance.
Because being Palestinian means carrying a legacy of stories they tried to erase...
And our mission is to bring those stories back to life.
