Voices of Resilience
Join us for an evening of performed readings of extracts from two books reflecting on the experiences of Palestinians in Gaza. Published by Comma Press, Voices of Resistance features the diaries of four women trapped in the Gaza Strip throughout the ongoing genocide (Nahil Mohana, Sondos Sabra, Ala’a Obaid and Batool Abu Akleen). The performance will also include extracts from Don’t Look Left, the diaries of Palestinian novelist Atef Abu Saif.
Readings from the diary entries will be accompanied by traditional Arabic music performed by Ahmed Adnan and a visual score by Gazan filmmaker Hossam Abo Shamallah.
All proceeds from the event and book sales will go to the writers still in Gaza.
