Spatiality is a powerful intervention and manipulation of spaces and places. It is a praxis that embeds practices populated with political and social intentions. Thus, it has the power to produce new realities along a broad spectrum of binaries, such as trust/risk, hope/despair, and inclusion/exclusion. Spatiality can imagine alternative spaces of trust, recognition, dignity, and tolerance. However, in some cases of deep conflicts, such as in Israel/Palestine, when spatiality through the "professional" mask serves as an extension of military intervention, pretending to plan a "new world," it becomes cruel, supremacist, unethical, and full of darkness.
