PALESTINE: REPAIR & RETURN SERIES

P21 is organising a series of traditional Palestinian Dabke workshops in partnership with the renowned Fursaan Dabke troupe. Open to men and women aged 16 and over.

These workshops aim to preserve cultural heritage through dance, where culture, resistance, and community come alive.

The evening comprises three performances - one in Arabic, one in English and one in Arabic and English. The first performance by Badia Obaid is 'The First Ever Female Poet' - the story of Enheduanna, priestess of the Moon God and the daughter of King Sargon of Akkad. In around 2300 BCE, Enheduanna wrote hymns in the ancient Sumerian language which document her devotion to the goddess Ishtar at a time of civil war and general unrest.
