Organized by The Palestine Festival of Literature, The Center for Palestine Studies, and Performance Space New York
This forum will bring together Palestinian thinkers who confront the crisis of continuity facing our history today, through their diverse scholarly and artistic practices. The speakers each develop processes that collect scattered archives but also return displaced, destroyed, or kidnapped documents to their social and political milieu. These are practices steeped in refusal and sumud, necessary to build linkages between the destroyed past, the harrowing present, and the possibility of knowledge sovereignty and a liberated future.
Participants: Basel Abbas, Ruane Abourahme, Alia Al Sabi, Lama Suleiman, Adam Haj Yahya with a response by Nadia Abu El Haj and moderated by Mahdi Sabbagh

Theatrical
Organized and curated by Sarah Schulman, First Mondays prioritizes one of the great advantages of living in New York City: hearing new ideas as they are being created, long before they are published and on the shelves.
For five years, this free event has given audiences access to our most exciting established and emerging writers as they present new, unpublished work-in-progress. In a relaxed atmosphere, a vibrant community is being built as audience members, often writers and artists themselves, return every month to deepen their knowledge of contemporary literature as it is being born.
This year’s First Mondays features dynamic new work from playwrights, composers, novelists, poets, critics, biographers, scholars, memoirists, performance artists and beyond with well loved writers. This month features Karen Malpede, Phoebe Legere, and M Lamar.
