Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMocuytrzMuEtS_IAMWJ4ma9f7JUzfxHSBh

Details: Aug 15, 2021 03:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada) - Twelve resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life: lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects, and politicians stitch together the story of their homeland, of their dispossession, and of their unwavering determination that justice will prevail. They talk of their life before the Diaspora, of their memories, of their lives and of their identity. Their narratives are connected by the enduring thread of the ancient art of embroidery.
