Join us in an event For Palestine, with live music and film screenings, where all proceeds will be donated to grassroot causes in aid of Palestine.

The first half will be a programme of short films by Palestinian women on the theme of displacement, including works by Julia Bacha, Rebekah Wingert-Jabi, and Dima Hamdan. In the second half, Roxanna Albayati and Ed Cooper will merge their musical practices in an emergent creation, compromising of guitar, voice, cello, ghaychak, and electronics.

'A Brief History of Modern Palestine' (by Giorgio Stern) will be circulated at the event free of charge. The short publication is a concise but detailed history of Palestine's occupation by Israel over the last century (translated by Giorgio Cortolillo, edited by Ed Cooper).

All proceeds will be split equally between these four causes:
