Following the resounding success of last year’s event, we are partnering with Amnesty International UK, to host a one-of-a-kind Palestinian arts festival at London’s Rich Mix.
Over three days, we will present art from across Palestine that covers mediums such as comedy, spoken word, dance, theatre, and storytelling. Confirmed artists include spoken word and experimental artist Farah Chamma, author & playwright Ahmed Masoud, actor movement specialist Micaela Miranda, spoken word artist and poet, Tasneim Zyada, comedians from PalCom and Weapons of Mass Hiliarty, and dance company Hawiyya.
The PalArt Festival will launch on Friday, 13th October, with a hilarious comedy show with PalCom and Weapons of Mass Hilarity. We welcome all interested in Palestine and those looking for an alternative arts and culture experience.
