As artists continue to face brutal censorship across Palestine, you're invited to join us for an evening exploring the power of culture as a tool for resistance, with excerpts from The Revolution's Promiseand And Here I Am.

The Revolution's Promise is a collection of testimonies detailing the risks and violent attacks Palestinian artists are experiencing. With the chair of The Freedom Theatre's board Bilal Al-Saadi, recently imprisoned without charge or trial, telling these stories globally has never been so crucial.

And Here I Amis actor Ahmed Tobasi's coming-of-age story, following his transformation from armed resistance fighter to artist, and his journey as a refugee from the West Bank to Norway and back again. Tobasi is The Freedom Theatre's current Artistic Director and will read excerpts from Palestine after being refused a visa to the US.
