Q-booxs | Azyl x UMCS for Palestine

Join us for another book club discussion, this time in cooperation with the UMCS for Palestine collective! During the meeting we will read and discuss texts from the zine “You have to live to tell my story” published by Fajny zinek. This is a collective publication of Palestinian texts translated into Polish.
During the Israeli occupation and genocide of Palestinian women and men, Palestinian culture is an act of resistance and perseverance. In parallel with pressuring the authorities to boycott Israeli institutions, we want to explore Palestinian culture, learn about it and honor artistic individuals of Palestinian origin. During the meeting you will have the opportunity to meet people involved in the UMCS for Palestine collective, which is part of the nationwide Academy for Palestine movement.

Sensitive topics that may arise: colonialism, genocide, death, violence.
Grassroots publishing initiatives are close to our hearts, so we are pleased to have the opportunity to gather and discuss a zine created by people both experienced in translation and amateurs.
During the meeting there will be plenty of collective reading aloud, commenting and sharing reflections. This meeting, despite the difficult main topic, will be conducted in a way that makes people as comfortable as possible – there will be more breaks, sensory toys available on site.
