Ever Present: A Palestine Poetry Slam

Join the Museum of the Palestinian People for a night of gathering, community, and power. How can we commemorate a Nakba that is continuing? How can we heal when our wounds have never had a chance to heal? We are not a people of the past. Palestinian life, land, memory, and culture are Ever Present. The Nakba is not a historical event with a beginning and an end. It is a condition that woke up this morning. And so did Palestinian life. Both things, fully present, fully alive, sharing the same air. This is not a night of looking back. It is a night of looking around. A night of being Ever Present. We invite the community to come together, share their words, thoughts, and feelings from the heart in this open mic night.

Locations: Will have simultaneous speakers and set ups in the Museum and the Book Store.
