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
