🇵🇸 🍊 ✊️ 78 years of struggle: an homage to Palestinian resistance and culture*
*DUTCH & ARABIC IN COMMENTS
On May 20th, we will pay tribute to the resilience of the Palestinian people, who have been resisting Zionist occupation for over 78 years. In honour of the passing of Nakba day, we will spend our evening learning about the struggle for Palestinian liberation and the importance of culture in resisting colonial occupation.
We will listen to a talk by Mohanad from the Handala Association for Culture and Development, which works to create community, improve the conditions of Palestinians in the diaspora, and forward the Palestinian struggle from Europe.
Afterwards, Dabke Nights will join us to teach us the basics of Dabke, the Palestinian dance that is a form of cultural resistance, a symbol of defiance against the colonisers!
We will also be joined by Shirin from Ghandara for a Tatreez workshop. As she says about the traditional Palestinian embroidery: “every stitch, motif, and handmade piece becomes an act of remembrance, a quiet but powerful declaration: we are here, and we endure.”
The proceeds of the evening will go to the Ghassan Kanafani Foundation in Gaza, which supports early childhood education in the wake of the destruction of educational institutions during the genocide. If you cannot make the event but still want to donate, please DM 💌
