Yaffa Streets

Story
What was the name of Yehuda HaYamit Street in Jaffa before 1948? And Shivtei Israel Street? Street names have a political meaning. Removing names and replacing them with others is eradicating a language, legacy, culture. Yaffa Streets project emphasizes the historic Arab street names in the public space, alongside the current street names, as a symbolic gesture of recognition and correction of history. This article was made part of #Jaffa_Tongue project - an urban activist lab by Social TV. The connection formed between the project participants created an exciting collaboration that drives the project forward. Thank you also to Wahat al-Salam, Zochrot, and Yad B'Yad for supporting the project. Language:
