BOZEMAN DOC SERIES: YALLA PARKOUR | |
|
Filmmaker Areeb Zuaiter was born in the mountainous city of Nablus, Palestine. Her parents found opportunities outside of Palestine and left when she was still an infant. Still, they visited every year. With those visits, she would watch her mother transform into what she’d call “her true self”, and her smile would come back to life. Folded in those visits, is one visit to Gaza. She was only four. It was her first encounter with the sea. The memory of her mother’s genuine smile by the seaside left a lasting impression on her.
Recently, nostalgia for her homeland resurfaces when she discovers a video of young men practicing parkour on Gaza’s sandy shores. Their joy starkly contrasts with distant explosions. Longing to reconnect with her past, Areeb reaches out to the parkour team and bonds with an athlete named Ahmed. Together, they navigate the remnants of Gaza, exploring places like a cemetery, a run-down mall, and the remains of an airport.
As their relationship deepens, Ahmed reveals the harsh realities of life in Gaza, transforming Areeb’s initial curiosity into a profound awareness of his struggles. Areeb grapples with guilt and conflict as she witnesses Ahmed’s desire to escape the confines of his homeland, understanding the emotional void such a departure would entail. Their journey becomes a quest to reclaim memories and explore identity, belonging, and the haunting legacy of a home left behind. Yalla Parkour offers a last glimpse of a pre-October 7th Gaza.

Susie Mathre
The Botany of Math(re); Further into the Weeds, Jessie Wilber Gallery
Susie Mathre is an artist living and working in Bozeman, Montana. As the daughter of botanists, she spent many hours in the family garden and also enjoyed exploring all things mechanical. She attended the University of Oregon, where she majored in fine art, taking a variety of studio classes, including printmaking, photography, letterpress printing and fiber arts. She graduated with a BFA in Fiber Arts in 1989.
Before becoming a full-time artist, she worked for the Community Food Co-op in Bozeman for over 20 years designing and fabricating signs and creating limited edition letterpress posters. She was fortunate to acquire a Vandercook Universal 1 letterpress in the early 1990s, (and thousands of pounds of lead type) which she currently uses in conjunction with metals, encaustic wax, and plant materials.
She is a recipient of a MAGDA (Montana Art Gallery Directors Association) traveling exhibition grant, and won Awards for Excellence for Distinctive Downtown Signage (The Co-op Downtown), and Sculptured Landscape from the City of Bozeman.

Edd Enders
Montana Roots and Routes, Lobby and Weaver Room Galleries
Livingston Montana native Edd Enders was born in 1962, graduated from Park High, and studied art at Montana State University, Bozeman from 1990-1993. Growing up, he spent his free time outdoors observing nature, drawing, camping, and hunting. As a young man he worked on archeological survey teams throughout the West and as a hunting guide, packer, wrangler and cowboy from Alaska to Arizona. Enders has been painting since 1989 and has been a prolific full-time painter for two decades. Widely admired, Enders has collectors ranging from New York to Key West to Chicago to Shanghai and has shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
"I consider myself a contemporary western painter. I’m not interested in portraying the West as it’s commonly idealized with pristine landscapes and romanticized wildlife, cowboys and Indians. I am deeply connected to the western environment where I’ve grown up, worked, and lived. I want to portray human’s inevitable activity and impact on this region. In the bigger picture, I hope that in 100 years people will look at my paintings and learn something about this place and time, as I see it.”
