Hope & Resistance in Palestine
 In the wake of the genocide carried out by Israel and the systematic erasure of Palestinian people and culture, we invite you to a collective reading & discussion series on Hope & Resistance in Palestine along with Dr. Noura Kamal, anthropologist at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

​

 1. Palestinian Humour in the Face of Oppression (Saturday, 23rd November, 4 - 6 pm IST/11.30 - 1.30 pm CET)
We start with an article written by Dr. Kamal on everyday forms of Palestinian humour and jokes as a way of confronting and coping with the Israeli Occupation.

2. Queer Politics in Palestine (Saturday, 30th November, 4 - 6 pm IST/11.30 - 1.30 CET)
We end the month with an article on a queer rights organisation in Palestine, the politics of being queer in Palestine, and deconstructing Israeli pinkwashing.
