Curated as a space for collective healing and catharsis, the White Kite Collective present their 19th edition since the genocide began. As the occupation, invasion and bombardment intensify in Palestine and Lebanon, this edition invites us to return to each other, to remember – our shared ecologies are rooted and resistant, while borders and the architectures of oppression are fragile.
The White Kite Collective is a grassroots group of cultural workers united in support of the Palestinian people as they confront genocide. We invite artists, activists, academics, doctors, and community members to share a platform. This edition will explore our connections to the land, nature, and environment, and the harms of colonial borders and violence on humans, animals, and ecological landscapes.
The event will begin promptly at 6pm. See the full lineup below.
