PUBLIC CONVERSATION | PALESTINE: REPAIR & RETURN - Stories of Water

This event is a part of the Theatre for Everybody and Az Theatre's PALESTINE: REPAIR & RETURN project which seeks to create links between 'skill and knowledge' communities outside Palestine with projects and people in Palestine. The project takes the form of a series of events where thinkers, practitioners and artists come together through public conversation. We will hear the voices of people in Palestine managing water supplies, seeking sources of good water and concerned with this vital natural resource. They will talk alongside experts on water sources and distribution from inside and outside Palestine. This event will deal with questions of how this vital element for human habitation is a part of the struggle for liberation.
