Imagining Otherwise: Daring to Dream of a Just and Thriving Palestine
With meital yaniv, Sulaiman Khatib, Sami Awad, & Bayo Akomolafe, facilitated by Rae Abileah
Our final and groundbreaking discussion will cast our collective gaze towards liberatory futures.
Our closing session will engage in a profound visioning process—weaving together principles of decolonization, political re-education, spiritual renewal and the subversion of oppressive mythologies. The discussion will explore pathways for Palestinians and their allies to access deeper reservoirs of creativity and community regeneration and find new avenues for resistance amidst seemingly total conditions of domination.
Dreaming up and struggling towards the realization of a free Palestine serves as a global model for our pursuit of equity, reparative justice and the collective flourishing of all people and lands.
‘Where Olive Trees Weep’ is a poignant, heartbreaking film about the struggles and resilience of Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. It features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers trauma-healing work to Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons.
The program expands on the themes explored in the film and provides a larger historical and social context. Access to the program and the film is by donation.
