@70: Celebration of Contemporary Palestinian Culture

@70: Celebration of Contemporary Palestinian Culture commemorates the 1948 Palestinian exodus – the ‘Nakba’ with a week-long festival of theatre, music, dance, films and talks.

Every year on May 15, Palestinians around the world, numbering about 12.4 million, mark the Nakba. Three artists from Gaza – writer and director Ahmed Masoud, writer and director Ahmed Najar and Khaled Ziada, founder and director of Arabic culture promoters MARSM - have worked closely with Amnesty International UK, the Hoping Foundation, Amos Trust, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Al Zaytouna Dance Theatre to bring together this creative response to decades of injustice.
