A Community Gathering with Mariam Barghouti, Ashira Darwish & Rawand Arqawi
Join SAND for a pressing conversation amongst three remarkable women who bring crucial perspectives from Jenin’s ongoing tragedy, in the context of escalated violence in the West Bank and the genocide in Gaza. Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti and Jenin resident Rwanda Arqawi share their firsthand experiences, cutting through the fog of misinformation to reveal the human realities often obscured in Western mainstream narratives.
At a time when documenting truth has become increasingly dangerous, these voices from the ground illuminate not only Israel’s violence in Jenin, but also the danger of bearing witness to it. Israel has killed more journalists in Palestine than died in any other conflict over the past three decades. Via personal stories and professional insights, our speakers highlight the impact of ongoing Israeli military operations, the resilience of Palestinians in Jenin and throughout the region, and the critical importance of preserving and sharing truth in the face of systemic erasure.
Join us in community for this timely discussion about the power of testimony, the cost of silence, and the need to amplify voices from the ground.
There is a suggested donation of $25 for this event.
Proceeds from this community gathering will go to training young people in Jenin on photography and film production, as well as purchasing video equipment (cameras, audio, computers and lighting).
