SUMMARY:'The imprisonment of our people and our archives': A conversation with Makan\, Alia Al Sabi and Zena Agha (In-person event)
DESCRIPTION:Book your place here \nThe genocide in the Gaza Strip represents an intensification and acceleration of Israel’s colonial practices against Palestinians living on the ground and in exile.  At the same time\, education\, research\, the university\, and archives are sites where these colonial practices coalesce. \nFor decades\, Israel has targeted Palestinian educational institutions through raids\, closures\, and bombardments\, routinely stealing and destroying archives and records\, while educators and students have been subjected to scholasticide\, kidnappings\, torture\, and imprisonment\, with at least 10\,000 Palestinians currently being held captive inside of Israeli prisons. \nAnd today\, following the physical destruction of every university building in Gaza\, an urgent question Palestinian scholars have been contending with since the Nakba is how do we do the work of producing knowledge\, archiving our histories\, and mapping out our futures under a settler colonial and apartheid regime that seeks to erase our existence? \nMakan’s upcoming conversation with scholars Alia Al-Sabi and Zena Agha will explore the nature of archiving in this context and how conditions of oppression manifest for Palestinian researchers and archivists working in different locations. \n\nWhere:  Reference Point\, 2 Arundel St\, Temple\, London WC2R 3DA\nWhen: 28th of February\nTime: Doors open at 7pm. Conversation begins at 7.30 and will last until 9.00pm.\nPlease note this is an in-person event and registration is needed in order to attend.\nThe Syrian Sunflower will be providing snacks at the event\n\nAbout Alia Al Sabi\n\n\nAlia is a writer and researcher based in Brooklyn\, New York. She is currently a PhD Candidate in the Performance Studies department at NYU\, where she is researching prison literatures in various archives in Palestine. Her research focus considers theories of movement and subversion within logics of surveillance and confinement through examining the textual practices produced within carceral structures.\n\n\n\nAbout Zena Agha\nZena is a Palestinian-Iraqi writer\, poet and multi-disciplinary artist from London. She previously served as the US Policy Fellow for Al-Shabaka: the Palestinian Policy Network\, where her areas of expertise include Israeli spatial practices\, climate change and Palestinian adaptive capabilities. She  was awarded the Kennedy Scholarship to undertake a Masters in Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University\, and is currently an ESRC-funded doctoral candidate at Newcastle University exploring colonial cartography in Palestine.\n\n\nAbout Makan:\nMakan is an independent\, non-partisan organisation dedicated to intersectional learning. Our approach is grounded in a belief that education is a liberatory act that can lay the ground for structural change. Situating Palestine within the context of other human rights\, social justice and global liberation movements\, we work towards transformation by adopting educational approaches that capture the history of the Palestinian struggle and the realities on the ground. We aim to support advocates as part of a community that is not only well-informed\, interconnected\, and empowered\, but passionately committed to cultivating a future for Palestinians built on freedom\, justice\, and dignity.

SUMMARY:Palestine\, Gender and Sexuality Series with Makan & Queercircle Workshop 1: Zionism\, Gender\, and Sexuality
DESCRIPTION:In the first part of our ‘Palestine\, Gender and Sexuality’ workshop series\, we examine the relationship between colonialism and gender broadly\, and examine how this applies in the context of Palestine.

SUMMARY:Wahda x Makan (In-person workshops)
DESCRIPTION:We will deliver two workshops: Between the Local and Global: Palestine as an Indigenous and anti-Imperialist Struggle\, and How to Talk About Palestine.  \nIn Between the Local and Global: Palestine as an Indigenous and anti-Imperialist Struggle\, we will explore the concepts of indigeneity\, settler-colonialism\, and imperialism to understand Palestine as both a local Indigenous struggle for decolonisation as well as part of a global anti-imperialist struggle\, and explore how together these frameworks shape our demands and strategies. \nHow to Talk About Palestine helps participants expand their skills when talking about Palestine by offering communication tips on how to engage in such conversations\, and by building participants’ confidence to know how to respond to various arguments. Through facilitating a safe discussion space\, we will go through a variety of recurring talking points regularly heard in the media and the wider public conversation\, and we will collectively analyse these arguments and how to respond to them. \nGet your tickets here. \n  \nWahda aims to foster a space of collective learning\, where we can educate each other and strengthen our understanding of the interconnectedness of global anti-imperialist struggles. \nAll proceeds will be going to: \nGaza Sunbirds\, a para-cycling team team providing community led aid in Gaza. They source food from local farms\, warehouses and supermarkets\, distributing them in areas where traditional aid cannot reach\, with their smaller size allowing them to respond quickly to individual community needs. \nSunduq Al Sudan\, a mutual aid organisation supporting relief efforts for Sudanese people. They are currently raising funds to support a children’s feeding program in Adré camp run by Hope and Haven Refugee Association operating within the Chadian branch of the NGO – Saving Alginina Initiative. SAI is a bi-national initiative that formed after the events of the war in June 2023 to help a large number of families who were forced to flee from their homes to the Chadian border region of Adré because of the outbreak of violence.
