Palestine 'n Chill - TONIGHT 8pm ET/5pm PT
Join tonight's convo about occupation, resistance, and how the Palestinian people are using art and literature as weapons against cultural erasure.
Come Chill with us tonight! Every Tuesday we get together and listen to an episode of our podcast, Macro N Cheese. We have an informal discussion, ask questions, and share our insights. It’s an opportunity to educate ourselves while building the community.
Tonight, we’ll be listening to Episode #312, Sumud: Echoes of Palestine, ft. Malu Halasa and Jordan Elgrably
In the episode, Malu and Jordan talk with Steve about their book, Sumud: A New Palestinian Reader, an anthology of writing that represent the culture of a people under occupation.
Some takeaways from the episode:
The erasure of Palestinian culture and history are a systematic strategy employed by Israel.
Art and literature serve as resistance against oppression and erasure.
Cultural expressions are an assertion of humanity amidst ongoing violence.
Global support for Gazans, part of the growing anti-imperialist movement.
