Palestine Writes Festival

            Sep. 22-24, 2023, Philadelphia --

It began with overflow crowds at a pre-festival film showing of Farha, at a performance by Palestinian women Hakawatiyyehs (Storytellers) from Jerusalem , and at poetry at UPenn's Kelly Writers House by two Palestinian poets.

Packed events continued throughout the three days of events during the Palestine Writes Festival.  The Festival Sep. 22-24 in Philadelphia included many books and their Palestinian authors but it was much more than a book fair. The packed venue revealed a deep thirst for Palestinian culture, history and honest discussion so long denied them by US, European and Zionist gatekeepers. Even the University of Pennsylvania, where the event was held, tried to prevent or curtail the Festival's existence. 

The last plenary session on Sep. 24 featured Marc Lamont Hill moderating a "Reporting Palestine" panel centering on the 2022 Israeli murder of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, featuring her co-workers. On stage throughout the festival was a large puppet of Handala provided by Spiral Q. 

The Festival was a rare opportunity to get out the truth about Palestine. Seeds were planted from which a harvest of freedom shall inevitably emerge in the future.
