Join us for an evening of theatre in support of We Are Not Numbers – a nonprofit founded in 2014 that mentors young Palestinian writers and gives them a platform to share their stories.
This fundraiser event features readings from the bestselling book We Are Not Numbers, a powerful collection of essays and stories written by young people from Gaza. Spanning more than a decade up to the present, these stories give insight into the hopes, dreams and lives of a generation raised under blockade and occupation.
Full line-up of readers includes Denise Gough, Sarah Agha, Clara Dabed, Myanna Buring, Sara Masry, Ola Animashawun, Giles Terera, Malak Mattar, Aya Haider, Alexi Murdock, Deja Bowens, Lyndsey Marshall and Issam Al Ghussain.
The readings will be followed by a post-show discussion with Palestinian artists, journalists and scholars including Ahmed Alnaouq, Malak Mattar and Sarona Bedwan.
“We believe in the power of storytelling to create empathy, build bridges, and inspire change”.
– Ahmed Alnaouq, WANN Co-Founder
All proceeds support WANN’s mission to nurture emerging Palestinian authors and amplify Palestinian voices.
