BACKGROUND

Mohammed Al Qudwa is a Palestinian artist and writer from Gaza, as well as a karate practitioner and a computer engineering student. In 2022, he published his first novella in Arabic, Last Destination, and later had poems translated into English. In 2024, he was invited to take part in PalFest – the Palestine Festival of Literature, which disseminated his poem Longing for Haifa in a campaign that enabled his evacuation to Egypt and later to Cyprus, where he continues his studies on a special scholarship. That same year, he was selected for an artistic residency in France through the Sawa Sawa program. Trois Saisons et un Corps is part of the research and action project The Humanitarian Corridor, which documents violations suffered by Palestinians while crossing humanitarian corridors in southern Gaza.
