Join us for an evening with renowned historian and cartography expert Thomas Suárez as he explores the history, importance, and power of geographic thought regarding Palestine and its people.

This illustrated talk traces the mapping of Palestine from the ancient Greeks and Romans through to the 21st century. Suárez will challenge modern presumptions of “personhood” in relation to the nation-state and examine how geographic thought shifted through the medieval period, the rise of Christian Zionism, and into the modern political era.

We invite you to join our creative workshop to make a square to be included in the memoral quilt naming and honouring the children killed in Gaza. During this workshop you will design and make a decorative square in remembrance of an individual child using the beautiful and versatile techniques of appliqué, fabric collage and embroidery. No previous experience is needed, and all guidance and materials are provided.
