Arts for Social Action: Artistic Responses to Gaza

Since October, we have witnessed a humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza with unimaginable levels of human suffering, destruction, and displacement for the Palestinian people. Artistic responses from around the MENA region have emerged in response to the assault on Gaza, many of which seek to mobilize communities for social action.

Presenters will discuss responses and new AFSC-commissioned research on “Arts, Cultural Organizing, and Social Change.” Presenters will include Saja Kilani, spoken word artist; Nasir Al Bashir, producer and songwriter; Zeyne, singer and songwriter; Jude Sajdi, Sama Consulting; Cathy Khattar, Arab Fund for Arts and Culture; and Khaled Elkhouz, Regional Director, Middle East (AFSC). In Arabic, with English interpretation available.
