Lajee Center in association with HOPING Foundation Presents:
An Evening of Culture for Palestinian Rights
For one night only, London will be hosting a very special event on July 17th – an event that is truly Palestinian in every sense.
This event is being created, hosted, and implemented in London by a grassroots Palestinian organization – the Lajee Center – from Aida Refugee Camp. Lajee will showcase a range of their cultural productions alongside other Palestinians performers and speakers. Musician Nizar al-Issa will perform at the event, and Karma Nabulsi will also feature in what promises to be a fantastic showcase of culture, resistance, and sumoud.
Lajee’s Dabka Troupe, which features boys and girls aged between 12-17, will perform their own rhythmic and passionate choreographed tributes to Palestine and its people, and Nizar al-Issa will perform music resonating with the flavours of the homeland. A new photographic exhibition which marks the ‘New Beginnings’ of 4 promising young artists from Aida Refugee Camp – Mohammad al-Azza, Kholoud Ajarma, Shorouk As’ad, and Miras Al Azzeh – will be hung in the reception room where drinks and food will be served, and short films produced by Lajee Center Arts & Media Unit will also be screened during the evening.
