Incarcerating the Imagination

Join us for a public webinar with Mustafa Sheta of the Jenin Freedom Theatre discussing the role of art under occupation. 

by Green Olive Collective

Mustafa Sheta is the General Manager of the Jenin Freedom Theatre, a globally renowned institution that offers drama and performance art education in the heart of the Jenin Refugee Camp. 

Nearly all of Jenin refugee camp's 20,000 residents have been displaced since the beginning of Operation Iron Wall in January and the site of the Freedom Theatre is not currently accessible.

Mustafa himself was recently released from Israeli prison after over a year of unjust detainment and has resumed his duties at the theatre in this challenging moment. Join us to speak with him about the escalating repression of Palestinian cultural workers, conditions in the refugee camps, the role of artistic storytelling under occupation, and the ongoing activities of the theatre as they continue staging artistic productions and imaginative performances around the world. 

Register here to join the webinar with Mustafa Sheta. 

Please help us spread the word and share this event with relevant justice, faith, and learning communities. Many of us are looking for perspective in this moment and we want as many as possible to benefit from the insights of our speakers.
