Online, 11 AM CT

Join this urgent and inspiring virtual gathering that brings together artists, thinkers, and organizers to explore how art confronts injustice, from the murals of Silwan in occupied Jerusalem to the walls and stages of communities resisting oppression worldwide.

Hosted by Art Forces, this session will be guided by Noura Erakat, a Palestinian human rights attorney and Professor of Africana Studies and Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, whose work illuminates the lived realities of Palestinian communities facing forced dispossession and ethnic cleansing as well as the shared strategies of global freedom movements.

Featured voices include acclaimed author Ta-Nehisi Coates, Mohammed El-Kurd and public scholar and freedom movement chaplain and FOSNA board member Nyle Fort. We will also be joined by visual and performance artists, each sharing how their art challenges injustice and uplifts the stories that dominant narratives often seek to silence, and members of the I Witness Silwan team from Jerusalem.
