- Tuesday 2 July17:45, Flokkr
During First Days at Flokkr and through songs, food, and personal stories from Palestine, we will create a space where we, collectively and across cultural differences and perspectives, come together to strengthen hope for peace and a free Palestine.
The event's host, journalist Waleed Safi, will open the program by talking about his many years of work covering the Israel-Palestine conflict. After that, the Danish-Palestinian musician Dana Alshihaby will fill Flokkr with her beautiful acoustic music, while the Palestinian/Jewish Alliance, through storytelling, will focus on their shared history as Palestinians and Jews respectively.
Finally, we gather around a meal with local ingredients from the Palestine area. Here, Amneh Hawwa from the Danish Palestinian Women Organization (DAPAWO) will introduce the ingredients and talk about how these connect the Palestinian food culture and the resistance struggle.
Dana Alshihaby is a Palestinian activist and singer. Drawing inspiration from her own culture, she mixes languages and music genres and takes us on a musical journey across borders.
Waleed Safi is a Middle East correspondent at the media Dagbladet Information. Since 2011, he has lived in both Egypt, Iraq, and Turkey, where he has covered revolutions, coups, wars, and climate disasters. Most recently, he has been in Israel to cover the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
DAPAWO is an independent association created by a group of Danish and resident Palestinian women. DAPAWO's purpose is to inform about the conditions of Palestinian women in Denmark and Palestine and to support projects for the benefit of women in Palestine.
The Palestinian/Jewish Alliance is a group of young Palestinians and Jews, formed shortly after 7 October 2023 to support a free Palestine. They work through storytelling, information, and dialogue.
