The Audre Lorde Project
85 South Oxford, Brooklyn, 11217

 

In conjunction with the Israel Apartheid Week, and facilitated by the

Palestine/Israel Education Project,  using a mixture of demonstration and discussion, this workshop will explore ways to raise awareness about

the struggle in Palestine while empowering people in the US to articulate and address our own connections to the issues of colonialism, racism, and militarism.

We will use…
•    Palestinian hip hop videos,
•    English translation of lyrics,
•    digital stories produced by youth in refugee camps,
•    discussion questions,
•    an interactive historical map role play exercise,
•    letters from Israeli youth refusing to serve in the army,
•    documentary footage of Palestinian youth discussing prison,
•    clips from the documentary film "Slingshot Hip Hop"

 

 

This discussion will be focused on supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC) People of Color (POC) in our exploration of this issue. For more info, contact Trishala at or 718.596.0342 x. 12

Repping Detroit, MI, many are already familiar with her work with Waajeed and the Platinum Pied Pipers, Finale, the all-female ANOMOLIES crew, Black Star, and many others.
