SUMMARY:Voices from Falastin - First Show
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the one year mark since our people in Palestine showed the world that the Palestinian people will continue to resist against the occupation of our land\, the Museum of the Palestinian People will be hosting Voices from Falastin\, a performance that will honor and center the Palestinian voices and direct testimonies from inside Gaza and the West Bank over the last 365 days. \nIn just one year\, the Lancet Report estimates the death toll in Palestine to be more than 186\,000. As we continue forward in the diaspora and in Washington\, DC\, we vow to honor those who have been killed in the ongoing genocide and ensure their voices are heard across the world. In Voices from Falastin we will spotlight testimonies from Khan Younis in Southern Gaza to the testimonies of children illegally imprisoned in Israeli prisons. Each testimony vividly conveys stories of forced expulsion\, love\, despair and steadfast resilience. All the testimonies will be read and performed by Palestinians living in the DMV area. \nOn Sunday\, September 29\, we will host two showings of Voices from Falastin at 3pm and 7pm. Proceeds from the showings will be donated to HEAL Palestine and Anera to support the dire need for mutual aid in the form of medical treatment\, food\, shelter\, and more in Gaza and the West Bank. \nWe hope you will join us as an act of solidarity for our people on the land who remain steadfast in their resistance against all odds.
