IRIS NRC Book Club: Art and Resistance in “Power Born of Dreams”

This event has passed.

Online
@ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
IRIS NRC event page

Join us online for a conversation with Mohammad Sabaaneh, the author and illustrator of the award winning graphic novel Power Born of Dreams: My Story is Palestine. Discussion facilitated by Professor Ramzi Fawaz, an award-winning queer cultural critic, public speaker, and educator.

A bird perches on the cell window and offers a deal: “You bring the pencil, and I will bring the stories.” The two collect threads of memory and intergenerational trauma from the ongoing Israeli occupation. These stories come to life in the striking linocut artwork of Mohammad Sabaaneh, helping us to see Palestinians not as political symbols, but as people.

The first 30 Wisconsin K-12 educators who register for this event will receive a free copy of the book!
