SONGS IN THE STRUGGLE FOR CEASEFIRE

(7pm-9pm, Youtube livestream)

What kinds of musical expressions are inspiring the worldwide struggle for peace with justice in Israel/Palestine? They are using songs as a political tool for building morale and unity during this bleak historical moment.  Some songs protest the ongoing bombardment of Gaza.  Some give voice to oceans of trauma and grief, which are given scanty space to be felt during wartime, except when connected with vengeance.  Some provide a political vision for a radical transformation in which the people of Palestine and Israel live together “in peace and unafraid." Panelists will present songs as well as an analysis of the role they are playing at this moment.
