New Palestinian Writing — Bethlehem

Join us at the beautiful Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research in Bethlehem for a conversation spanning four generations of Palestinian writing.

Moderated by Wafa Darwish, tonight’s event will celebrate the publication of three new books:

Vera Tamari’s Returning: Palestinian Family Memories through Artworks, Photographs and Texts

Ahed Tamimi’s They Called Me a Lioness: A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom

&

Isabella Hammad’s Enter Ghost.

Joining them on stage for this one-off event will be Ayesha Odeh, author of two books about her experiences of arrest and imprisonment, and Ibtisam Azem, author of the internationally critically acclaimed Book of Disappearance.

All PalFest events are free and open to the public. All books will be on sale at our Book Stand.

All PalFest events have simultaneous Arabic-English / English-Arabic translation.
