Join us as Mohammad Abuajwa, Noy Katsman, Ali Schwartz and Alaa engage in an open conversation. Moderated by Elisa Fuenzalida and accompanied with music by Meera Eilabouni.
We will explore how intergenerational trauma shapes present and future generations. How can we talk about reconciliation when justice remains unmet, and safety, dignity, and equality are not ensured for all people living on the land?
After the panel, we warmly invite everyone to stay, connect,
and enjoy some music.
