Join Saqi Books and P21 Gallery for an evening celebrating the publication of ‘Archiving Gaza in the Present’, edited by Dina Matar and Venetia Porter. The event will feature a discussion with the editors and contributors includingSelma Dabbagh, Emily Tripp, Atef Alshaer, Yara Sharif and Nasser Golzari, moderated by Malu Halasa.

‘Archiving Gaza in the Present’ brings together voices from Palestine and beyond to document the cultural erasure and to explore how creative and archival practices resist it. Contributions from curators, architects, artists, journalists, lawyers and scholars capture Gaza’s once-vibrant cultural life – historic buildings, art centres, universities and museums that existed before October 2023 – now turned to rubble.

With thanks to the Arab British Centre and the Centre for Palestine Studies SOAS.

Tickets cost £5
