Join us for an inspiring evening with A Chance to Meet, a collective of artists and activists from Gaza and Israel who have been working in secrecy to connect and create art since 2019.
Their mission is to foster understanding and bridge the divide between Gaza and Israel/Palestine through art and storytelling.
This event will allow us a unique opportunity to engage directly with their artwork, listen to their stories, and create art together.
What to Expect:
Community Engagement: Connect with others in a safe, supportive environment dedicated to peace, solidarity, and social justice.
Artists’ Dialogue: Hear firsthand experiences and the challenges faced by artists working across barriers of conflict.
