Al-'Araqīb consists of historical documents and materials, along with contemporary photographs by Sheikh, that present a fragmentary history of the village of al-'Araqīb, which has been destroyed and rebuilt more than eighty-five times in the ongoing "battle over the Negev," an Israeli state campaign whose aim has been to displace Palestinian Bedouins from the northern threshold of the desert. The shifting demarcations of this land--confirmed by the various materials in the vitrine, including land contracts, the different maps and historical traces of earlier Bedouin settlements, and photographs and documents that record Bedouin presence historically and in the present--have advanced and receded over the years in response to displacement, cultivation, urbanization, and even climate change. These materials have appeared in Eyal Weizman's response to Sheikh's Desert Bloom series, an essay that, incorporating historical aerial photographs, contemporary remote sensing data, state plans, court testimonies, and nineteenth-century travelers' accounts, explores the Negev's threshold as a "shoreline" along which climate change and political conflict are deeply entangled. The collaboration between Weizman and Sheikh has been published under the title The Conflict Shoreline: Colonization as Climate Change in the Negev Desert.
