Announcing: Resistance Arts, a Conversation with El-Funoun
Saturday, July 12 | 10AM Pacific, 1PM Eastern, 8PM Palestine
The struggle for Palestine lives in every form of resistance, including art. Widely considered the lead Palestinian dance company in Palestine and the diaspora, El-Funoun was established in 1979 by a small group of enthusiastic, creative and committed artists. The Troupe has developed an innovative style of dance deeply-rooted in Palestinian and Arab folklore and informed by elements of contemporary dance movement. A leading cultural institution in Palestine, El-Funoun has used dabke, music, and cultural work as tools to confront erasure and resist the zionist occupation, making them and their dancers a continuous target of imprisonment and repression by the zionist entity.
Join the PYM’s Resistance Arts Committee for a discussion with El-Funoun that is rooted in political clarity, history, and the realities we face now. We will be exploring:
– What do we mean by resistance arts in the Palestinian context?
– How did El-Funoun turn culture into a site of struggle, from choreography built inside prison walls to stages across the world?
– What does it mean to build and defend Palestinian cultural institutions today, both under occupation and in exile?
