Before Gaza was a headline, it was home.

Join visiting speaker Imam Anwar Arafat for an evening that moves between memory and chronicles as he discusses his own personal experiences growing up in Gaza, the region's last 100 years gf history, and frequent misconception and areas of debate surrounding the strip.

Taking place in the Qahwa, the talk lasts 1 hour followed by a social hour. Tickets are optional and donations are strongly encouraged to help support future events!

Open to ages 16+, we hope to see you there!
