Solidarity and Resistance (Palestine Talks Spring 2024)

Palestine Talks Spring 2024

Solidarity and Resistance

The Arabic and Islamic Studies section at Ghent University invites you to its second academic event discussing the genocide in Gaza as well as the ongoing escalation of violence in Palestine and the wider region. The event will commence on the 24th of April 2024 with the screening of the documentary film Off Frame aka Revolution Until Victory (2016) by Palestinian filmmaker Mohanad Yaqubi. The film offers a critical exploration of themes such as resistance, agency and Palestinian self-representation in historical and contemporary contexts that remain deeply relevant today.

On 30 April, a panel discussion will take place, bringing together distinguished scholars from multiple disciplines with a range of expertise to discuss a number of key issues, including violiations of international law, violent and non-violent resistance, individual and collective agency and solidarity, and the prospects for a sustainable and just peace in the region.

Both parts of the event are open to all students, faculty members and anyone interested from the public. We look forward to an open, informed and thoughtful conversation.
