Voices of Resilience

The resilience of Palestinians has long inspired artists and resistance movements worldwide. The last ten months have seen this solidarity swell to record levels, as people around the world share their horror at the violence and occupation wielded against Palestinians. Voices of Resilience is an evening of testimonies centred on Atef Abu Saif’s haunting firsthand account, Don’t Look Left: A Diary of Genocide. Performed by the actor Firas Ibrahim, these accounts will be embroidered with poetry readings by Ahmed Nehad, Nada Shawa, Noor Hemani, and Basma Ghalayini, and accompanied by traditional oud music by Ahmed Adnan and a visual score from Gazan filmmaker Hossam Abo Shammallah. The event will be followed by a Q&A featuring members of the VoR collective and local activists including Willie Black, poet Iyad Hayatleh and author Jessica Gaitán Johannesson. 

Please join us in expressing solidarity and celebrating the words, music and spirit of Palestine.
