On May 15th Palestinians across the globe will be commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, the process of ethnic cleansing, colonisation and dispossession that saw over 750,000 Palestinians driven into exile and more than 500 towns and villages wiped from the map.

The Nakba is marked not just as an historical event but as a continuing process of oppression enacted over the past 75 years though ongoing colonisation of land, enforcement of apartheid and military occupation.

This is an online event to hear from Palestinian movement leaders, poets, scholars and activists from across historic Palestine and the diaspora who will share their personal histories and explain how they confront the ongoing Nakba in their life and work.

Speakers will include: Professor Kamel Hawwash - PSC Chair and academic / Sami Abou Shahadeh - Historian and Head of Balad/Tajamou’ party / Muna Dajani - Palestinian water and environmental justice scholar / Selma Dabbagh - Poet/Writer and Head of Strategy at International Centre of Justice for Palestinians
