SUMMARY:From Lily's View - A Reception Honoring the Life & Photography of Lily
DESCRIPTION:In 1948\, the course of life would be altered forever for the Palestinian people in one of the most transformative and traumatic periods in Palestinian history. Palestine and its people faced the loss of homeland\, access\, and freedom of movement. Lily Bandak was born just a few weeks following\, in Amman\, Jordan. Later in life\, Bandak would later confront her own challenges being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis\, limiting her mobility and freedom of movement. Neither Palestine nor Bandak confined themselves to be defined by loss. \n \nBandak embodied the Palestinian spirit of sumud – transforming obstacles into opportunities. With the assistance of technology at the time\, Bandak was able to have developed a mount on her wheelchair to hold her camera\, travelling to Jordan and throughout the SWANA region and photographing some its leaders\, cultural heritage sites\, and landscapes. Much of Bandak’s life’s work of photography was lost in a fire\, making the photographs displayed in this exhibition priceless. \n \nThis exhibition highlights resilience as an adaptation and to not be defined by circumstances that have been imposed. Just as Palestinians continue to build lives\, communities\, and preserve cultural and historical heritage despite displacement and fragmentation\, Bandak refused to allow physical limitations to determine her place in the world. \n \nJoin us for our exhibit opening; light refreshments and snacks will be served.

SUMMARY:Palestine Bleeds for You: Ramsey Hanhan Book Launch\, Talk\, and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch event with author Ramsey Hanhan on Wednesday\, June 17 from 7-9pm.  \n \nThe shrieks of warplanes on their way to bomb Gaza provoked Ramsey Hanhan to write. This collection of poetry and essays plumbs the depths of human thought\, religion\, history\, and culture in search of hope amid the world’s criminal silence. In an authentic Palestinian voice\, Hanhan sketches the workings of the global machinery of oppression\, revealing the centrality of Palestine’s liberation to decolonization\, social justice\, and environmental justice struggles around the world. “The book I never wanted to write.” \n \nRamsey Hanhan is a father\, scientist\, and independent author of two books: Palestine Bleeds For You (2026) and the autobiographical Fugitive Dreams (2022). His short stories\, essays\, and poetry appear in The Harvard Advocate\, Fikra magazine\, Scene48\, Mondoweiss and other publications. He also speaks about Palestine and literature. Formerly a physics professor\, Ramsey holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and lives near Baltimore\, Maryland.
