About this Event

Join ScrapAntics and Art Workers for Palestine Dundee for a family friendly craft session, where we will make kites in solidarity with Palestine!

Whether you make a kite as a piece of art for a display, or to take outside and fly, kites have a symbolic significance for Palestinian freedom.

Flying kites have long been a symbol of defiance and hope in Palestine. In 2011, 15,000 children in Gaza broke the world record for the largest number of kites flown simultaneously.

On the 7th of December 2023, writer, academic and poet Dr Refaat Alareer was murdered in a targeted attack. His last poem, “If I Die, You Must Live to Tell My Story,” used the image of a white kite. Since then, white kites have been used as a symbol of solidarity in protests globally.

What pictures or words will you add to your kite?

Tickets are free with an optional donation when booking. We will be fundraising for the Sameer Project, a donations based initiative led by Palestinians in the diaspora, working to supply aid to displaced families in Gaza.
Tickets are not essential but knowing how many people to expect helps us to plan.
