Boston Dabke Troupe x M.Y. Mosaic "Hawiyati (هويتي): A Cultural Showcase"

The intricacies of framing dabke against the backdrop of ethnic cleansing and forced expulsion are not lost on us. For Palestinians within Palestine, and arguably more so for those in the diaspora, dabke is a means of expression and preservation in the face of efforts to hijack our narratives and erase our history.

Cultural resistance is the collective and intentional use of cultural expressions through literature, art, music, dance, and traditions—to assert Palestinian identity and heritage while challenging the erasure imposed by settler-colonial forces. Its performance and preservation act as forms of resistance and reclamation, proclaiming, “We are here” and “This is our narrative.”

In this process of reclamation, we do what we do best: we create communities. We provide a space of belonging for those uprooted from their cultural homes and for individuals seeking new cultural connections.

Join us at our first ever cultural showcase in collaboration with @mymosaicevents & featuring local vendors, artists and allies. As always, all proceeds go to mutual aid efforts. Hope to see you there ✊🏽
