Sile Sibanda and FONSA (Friends of Nablus and Surrounding Areas) present a live-link performance with Nablus, the cultural heart of the West Bank, in this 4th annual event. Nablus experiences daily life-threatening pressures under the illegal occupation. Music and other forms of cultural expression are a powerful demonstration of resistance. This is a chance to join with them directly in solidarity, through sounds, music and a shared audience experience.

Singers for Palestine pop-up choir
Updates from Nablus
Poet Saed Abu Hijleh

Tickets £15/£10 for low-waged attendees. Book online.
