Palestine, Gender and Sexuality Series with Makan & Queercircle Workshop 3: Palestinian resistance against gendered, sexual and colonial oppression
April 23 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
In the third part of our ‘Palestine, Gender and Sexuality’ workshop series, this workshop focuses on Palestinian resistance to gendered and sexual oppression, highlighting feminist and queer Palestinian movements and organising. By situating gender and sexuality as central to the Palestinian struggle, we will discuss how the Palestinian anti-colonial resistance has historically gone hand in hand with struggling against internal patriarchal structures as well as Israel’s weaponisation of gendered stereotypes.
The workshops in this series prioritise interactivity and invite participants to engage in close reading of texts and images in group discussions, and are interspersed with lecturing.
