This article examines the concept of ruins, exploring their complex relationships with power, the built environment, and society within the context of ongoing settler colonialism. It asks how ruins in Palestine might serve as silent witnesses capable of documenting and constructing a living archive of dispossession and resistance. Contrary to views that see ruins as inert remnants or results of neglect, this study proposes understanding them as active agents that connect past, present, and possible future(s). Reclaiming the agency of ruins offers a powerful means of challenging settler colonial histories and supports struggles for liberation. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship, including postcolonial and settler colonial studies, material culture, cultural geography, and new materialist writings, this article advocates for a reconceptualization of ruins as dynamic sites of memory, resistance, and enduring possibility.
