Pandemic and the Creative Response: How can art pave the way for justice?
In recent weeks, we’ve witnessed a global cry for justice in face of systemic racism. How can art be a catalyst for social change? We’ll hear from students and faculty of Dar al-Kalima as they share how art provides a social justice lens in which to critically reflect on reality while imagining new futures. Learn how the students are navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of a pandemic learning environment.
Join our Bright Stars team and friends in Palestine for a Virtual Summer Series: Palestine During Double Lockdown.
The series title, taken from Rev. Dr. Raheb’s latest book, speaks to the additional layer of oppression that the pandemic has inflicted on Palestinians. Hear from Bright Stars co-founder and Dar al-Kalima University President, Mitri Raheb alongside students, faculty, and scholars from the university.
We’ll be highlighting how our friends in Palestine are unlocking hope amidst this “double lockdown.”
